Episode 19

Pump those fists and punch that piñata, it’s time to get hot under the collar with another fully loaded 120 minutes of upbeat and energising music!

Stuffed with some of the tastiest tracks from the last 7 decades, there’s more than enough here to playfully soundtrack the next 2 hours of your day.

This episode features a cover story that will have you falling for its hedonistic weirdness, Give The Drummer Some beats out a Puerto Rican flavour that’s more than a touch spicy, and R.E.S.P.E.C.T. is paid to the The Prince of ska via a titular two-tone tribute.

Grab your sweatband. You’ll need it.
