Six years and 250 episodes later, it’s time for Desert Island Discs II: This Time It’s Marginally More Professional. Beeso and the Doc revisit the desert island discs concept - attempted shambolically in ep50 - to determine which five albums they’d be prepared to live with (plus a 'hall pass' bonus track) at the exclusion of all other music for the rest of their days, and whether having listened to several hundred new albums in the interim has warped their music worldview.

Next week: new albums from St Paul & the Broken Bones, Rot TV and the Wiggles (and friends). Those and our previous review albums can be found on our album review playlist on Spotify. Everything we listened to last year is in our 2021 review archive, along with our 2021 tripping balls mixtape featuring our favourite tracks from new albums we reviewed last year (2022 version coming once we listen to enough stuff to start a mixtape.)
