Every week on the show, I speak to someone about a song they love, and every now and then I put them together in a collection. Here's a collection of conversations with some very interesting people about songs they love.

This one focuses on LOST IN FRANCE - the documentary about Chemikal Underground Records and the trip to Mauron, with Alex Krapanos (Franz Ferdinand), Emma Pollock (The Delgados), Paul Savage (The Delgados), Stuart Braithwaite (Mogwai) and the director, Niall McCann.

Tennis! There's new music by them, No Monster Club, Switzerland, Shookrah, Honeyblood, Future Islands... and some more Future Islands. Plus, some Emma Pollock, 'Allo Darling, Squarehead, Augustines, The Afghan Whigs, and We Cut Corners tell me about a song they love (it's a good one. By Lower Dens.)

A quick and not altogether thorough look at some of my favourite non-Irish tracks of 2016, before I run out of time. Cass McCombs, Frightened Rabbit, Keaton Henson, The Goon Sax, Angel Olsen, Why?, Dan Deacon, DJ Shadow, The Avalanches, Leonard Cohen, JFDR, Dinosaur Jr., Pinegrove, Warpaint and Car Seat Headrest. Yup. That'll do for now.
