This week we're thrilled to welcome the return of Everything But The Girl, who have released their first new music in 24 years; and James Holden, who pays homage to his teenage years yearning to experience a rave.

Revel in a specially curated world of new music this Friday morning with Ben Cardew, including new songs from Young Fathers, NewJeans, Public Image Ltd., Leland Whitty and Ice Spice. Plus, our UK Garage Friday banger is from Heartless Crew.

The Golden Globes and the Hollywood instability, Shakira's Waka-Revancha, what's coming up in Porto and Two Many James: the return of James Holden and James Murphy's song for White Noise, the first film of the year.

For the first show of 2023, The Weekly Review team offer their definitive ins and outs of the year; the album of the week is RuPaul’s Black Butta; and we play a guessing game based on the wonderful world of RuPaul Drag Race expressions.

New year = new music on The Weekly Review, with sparkling new tunes from Decisive Pink, DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ, Frankie Rose, Skrillex, Spoon, The Lemon Twigs and Iggy Pop. Plus, a tribute to Gangsta Boo and our album of the week is from RuPaul.

On this first episode of 2023 Johann Wald selects some of the year's first releases, skipping genres like a frog on a pond full of water lilies, including MIKE, PinkPanthress, Alex G, Humour, Noémi Büchi and more.

It's our last live show before Christmas and Ben Cardew is bringing Primavera-friendly Christmas cheer, with festive (ish) songs from Slim Jxmmi, DJ Technic, Cookin Soul, Bootsy Collins, Red Velvet, Roy Davis Jr. and Rotary Connection; plus a UK Garage Friday banger from Sticky; new music from Rosalía, Ava Max, Decisive Pink; and a special message from Sparks!

David Camilleri, Natxo Medina and Sergi Cuxart talk about the insanity of Spain's Christmas Lotery. With some new music included. 

In our last The Weekly Review of the year, Mar has a special game to decide what is the most insane thing that happened online this year; and we look back at the TV of the year.

December 2022 is proving surprisingly good for new music: Ben Cardew presents some of the best of it, including songs from FLO, Amigas Íntimas, The Smile and Central Cee. Our album of the week is Little Simz' devastating NO THANK YOU; and we pay tribute to Terry Hall.
