Few have impacted culture like this week’s guest - The Rebel Dread himself, Don Letts.

Filmmaker, DJ and musician, Don has been a mainstay in the British music scene for over four decades. Whether spinning records on his BBC 6Music show 'Culture Clash' or co-founding Big Audio Dynamite with former Clash legend Mick Jones in 1984, his influence is undeniable. His documentary film on The Clash, 'Westway to the World,' even won a Grammy Award in 2003 for Best Long Form Music Video.

Sean uncovers the blend of bass and pop that formed Don’s unique taste in music - from The Sex Pistols to Bob Marley - and learns how he once owned the largest collection of Beatles memorabilia in the country.
