Having kicked off with the smooth stylings of Frank Sinatra, we explore the other mainstay of the UK album chart in the 1950s: the musical. The first of five Rodgers & Hammerstein film soundtracks to land at number one, Carousel is a surprisingly dark story following a cheap crook's attempts at redemption from beyond the grave.

Featuring such hits as You'll Never Walk Alone, June is Bustin' Out All Over and Soliloquy, Carousel is a big change of pace for the podcast and we'd love for you to join us.
