Hola, Sneakers!

Well, Dave threatened it and he did it: a whole bonus episode dedicated to all the music requests made as part of Episode 350’s questions show. And, in order to make it less monotonously Dave-filled, he has dragged his poor daughter Mary away from Call the Midwife to join him out in the Sneaky Dragon auxiliary studio – also known as The Shop. And, yes, this is crazy long and that’s why it’s not at the end of the original Episode 350. Who the heck wants a six-hour long podcast??? Anyway…

Dave and Mary listened to and discussed the following songs:
