2015-12-06: Jarvis takes us for a ride in a taxi, because this day in 1897, London became the first city to have licensed cabs. We learn some facts about taxis and pit the mighty 'Knowledge' against new-fangled sat-nav. Michael Curran of Tangerine Press talks to Jarvis about a new book of previously unpublished photographs of writer Richard Brautigan. They discuss Brautigan and his career, and Michael explains how he discovered the pictures. Plus, we mark the climate change conference in Paris with some inspirational icy music, and Jarvis remembers his trip to the north pole with Cape Farewell. Birthdays: Nick Park, Dave Brubeck and David Lovering.
