In this opening episode, best-selling author Mark Billingham joins me to chat all things Elvis.

Mark tells me about hosting EC’s book launch event in 2015, spinning the wheel in the ’80s and how being an Elvis superfan helped him win the BBC’s Celebrity Mastermind.

He recalls the first time he heard a Costello song on the radio, reveals the EC album that changed his life and ponders which Elvis songs he wants to be played at his funeral.

Mark also picks five songs for the Dangerous Amusements playlist.
