On this week's show, I explore the big band sound, and muse about what exactly shoo fly pie is.

• The Ink Spots - If I Didn’t Care

On this week's show, another birthday episode, this time for a friend.

• Massive Attack - What Your Soul Sings

On this week's show, I take a look at the roots of ragtime and its evolution

• Antonin Dvorak - Humoresques (no.7) 

This week's show is much more laid back than the last few weeks' shows. With the change of the seasons, I felt like putting together a set of songs that reflected that shift.

• Dusty Springfield - Summer Is Over

This episode comes on the heels of the release of Cardi B & Megan THEE Stallion's collab, "W.A.P.", and all the breathless double-standard criticism and judgment that dogged them. On tonight's show, songs primarily by women, expressing sexual agency in a way that their contemporary society found offensive, across time and genres.

• Salt ‘n’ Pepa - Let’s Talk About Sex

After being on the receiving end of some creepy street harassment, I got riled up and put this show together. It's all songs by women who have had enough of men's crap. There will be a lot of swearing, just as an fyi.

• Mecca Normal - I Walk Alone

I collected so much good material last week that I couldn't help but do a second episode of songs based on real events. Well, mostly--Barrett's Privateers is likely more legend than reality, but...shhhh.

• Depeche Mode - Agent Orange

On this week's show, it's all songs that tell stories about real historical events. Music, history, and politics, all in one go!

• Nina Simone - Mississippi Goddamn

On this week's show, I get into the history behind the Parental Advisory stickers that began showing up on albums in 1990. This goes allllll the way back to the early days of the Satanic Panic in the 80s, the formation of the PMRC in 1985, and the creation of a list of songs that were considered the worst offenders, AKA The Filthy 15. As a post-meal sorbet, we round out the show with some songs lashing back at the PMRC, in particular, one former Vice President's wife. Tipper Gore would hate this episode ^_^

• Prince - Darling Nikki

This week's show is more personal; I process some grief over two heartbreaking incidents that got tangled together.

• Chicane - Red Skies
