Music Weekly podcast: Slade, Bowie, Roxy Music … it's the glam special

Yes, platforms at the ready, for our wrestlers in makeup!

Alexis has been up to Liverpool to revel in Tate Liverpool's new Glam exhibition, and he talks to the curator, Darren Pih. Plus, our guests Jeremy Deller and Robin Turner chew over the music, the legacy and cosmetic extravagance of the era of Bowie's Ziggy Stardust, Slade, Roxy Music, Adrian Street, the Sweet … and the rest.

There is also a brief interruption from the 21st century, in the form of singles club, which has tracks from Jeremy Greenspan, James Blake and East India Youth.

Set your controls for the heart of the 70s … And thanks for listening.
