In celebration of their recently released tenth album, Jo is joined by The Chemical Brothers to co-host the show.

Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons first met at Manchester University in 1989. Originally known as The Dust Brothers, the pair started recording remixes in the summer of 1993, and their first EP was released in January of 1994. Having discovered another band of the same name, the electronic music duo changed to The Chemical Brothers, and have since released six number one albums, 13 top 20 singles and won six Grammys.

Last Friday, the duo released their tenth album For That Beautiful Feeling. Tom and Ed join Jo to talk about their latest project, as well as their 30th anniversary as a duo, and the music that has influenced them over the years.
