Drawing winter to a close, Kris and Rob (and Pearl from 5:30) return after a rude root canal catastrophe prevented last week's show, and a few of the listenership kindly share some of their own dental distasters.
Rob fires up Sport and Emmerdale (now also uploaded as its own segment), and the crew are all happy to welcome back the Prodigal Son of Beer, Finn Dingle, who joins them for the 16Tun Flagon Wagon beer review.
This week, Theo spoke to Lucinda Birch about the artist publication Somewhere Else, and Karen Rubado about her Melanie Roger exhibition soft ware. We also went down some musical rabbit holes, listening to selections from Lost in the Stars (The Music of Kurt Weill), and David Byrne's Sounds from True Stories.
Sam and Kris are rejoined by their long lost co-host Mr Rob Bollox in the flesh. They cover some real sport, and real Emmerdale, and Sam gets into some protest music that remains just as relevent today in these troubled times.
