People Want Ducks

We had so much material for our music special, we're flipping the record over: these are the B-Sides. Tyler Jenke is back with us. Steven comes up with more "creative" grabs. We look at Tony, Ed and Richard's Beatles impersonations and ask, was Peter Cundall in the Beatles? Matt meets John Jarrett. Natalie visits Paul McCartney in Rome, and gives us a preview of her new career in crunk. We look ba...

We're back for Episode 2! We got some listener feedback, including from Steven’s mum. We explain the mastery of Gavin Wood to a confused American listener.
