After many years scouring the world in search of enlightenment or at least a decent Lamb Korma, Marc returned to the west to pursue a career in almost anything to alleviate the boredom of day to day living.
Having discovered a complete lack of musical talent, he turned his attention to listening to music - this is a skill he has developed over the years into a very catholic penchant for all types of tunes.
Incidentally, that is Gregory Porter's shoulder in the photo with Marc.
Marc presents "Birth of the Cool" (Saturdays, 22:00-00:00 UK time; Sundays 07:00-09:00 AEST or AEDT).
