It's the height of the Irish summer so it's the perfect time for a downpour. 

Ace comedian Fiona Frawley makes her NO ENCORE co-host debut, and she's got a clutch of rain-soaked Taylor Swift songs in tow for this week's Top 5 main event. 

Before that, all the usual fun and games from the music world at large. 

Don't forget to hit up patreon.com/noencore for weekly bonus episodes including a brand new quiz landing this Monday as Dave grills Adam on a genre close to the beloved sonic architect's heart - disco, baby. 

As for this week's NO ENCORE Prime... 

ACT ONE: The preamble, in which we do indeed ramble. 

ACT TWO (10:14): The week's news starts in sadly mournful fashion as Dave pays respects to late, great RTÉ broadcaster Seán Rocks. From there, we look at all the latest Oasis happenings as their Croke Park double-header draws near, struggle to make sense of Rod Stewart's morbid embrace of AI, discover what Oscar-nominated audio is useful to ward off bloodthirsty wolves, and welcome Machine Gun Kelly's committed tribute to Hulk Hogan. 

ACT THREE (49:33): Top 5 Rainy Taylor Swift Songs
