On this week's show, Dr. Jonathan Pearce swings for the fences with some wild chart predictions; Annabel seeks medical advice live on the radio; we drink some delicious smokey Thomson whisky, care of our whisky Godmother; and whilst announcing the number one song, special guest Taylor tries to squeeze his quiz all over our show… (if you know what I mean), all while counting down the biggest songs in the nation!
This week Theo spoke to Sandy Gibbs about her RM Gallery exhibition The paradox of failure: sport, competition, and contemporary art. Later on Dominic Hoey talked about the poetry night he's put together at the Gus Fisher gallery, and Theo played a really long Don Cherry song.

That rainbow kind of magic.
