Welcome again, fans of music, and fans of talking about music!

This week Mary and Dave take a listen to the final side of Rachel Gamboa’s soul/funk/R&B mixtape. There’s quite a few good songs this week and we really think you’re going to enjoy this one.

Meanwhile, Dave has decided to revive Sneaky Dragon’s old Top 5 lists and brings us a Top 5 favourite covers of Bob Dylan’s “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue”. So if you’re excited about hearing the same song five times you couldn’t have made a better choice of song.
