And a very GOOD FRIDAY to you, too, dearest listener.

NO ENCORE returns in fittingly glowing fashion, or is that just Craig Fitzpatrick feeling the effects of an especially electric pop concert? Dave Hanratty will track down the truth.

This week's agenda takes in a polarising preacherman, a piss-stained news section, and a cluster of inspiring individuals who give us hope that we can still make that industrial skiffle band dream a reality one day.

ACT ONE: Craig went to see Sparks but did sparks fly?!

ACT TWO (6:22): Ed Sheeran gets the last word, Dave Mustaine revisits a high-profile political leak, celebrations are in the air, and move over James McCartney – it's the news.

ACT THREE (23:33): Sometimes we love him, sometimes we merely tolerate him – Father John Misty is back to welcome Chloë and the Next 20th Century. Are we ready to join him?

ACT FOUR (39:57): Top 5 Late Bloomers.
