Welcome to the very first episode of our brand new podcast, The Songs We Were Singing!

Every week, your hosts Andrew Galvin and Joanne Southern review and digest every long player to top the Official UK Album Chart in order. So with episode 1, we start with the first record to hit the top in July 1956: Songs For Swingin' Lovers by Frank Sinatra!

Please join us at we give you an entertaining and irreverent look back at the history and influence of the album, as well as exploring such hits as You Make Me Feel So Young, Anthing Goes and, yes, even the astonishingly filthy (for 1956) Makin' Whoopee.

If you like what you hear, please support us by reviewing and rating us wherever you get your podcast- it really does help other people find us!
