This week we were keeping tracks with Leo Lightfoot. Since completing his degree at the University of Nottingham, his videos have led him to become a YouTube sensation and to be acquainted with some of the world's biggest names.

This week we were keeping tracks with Jon Sullivan. From his unexpected journey to Chinese academia to kimodo dragons, Jon takes us through some of his life highlights alongside a few key tracks and books he's picked up along the way.

This week we were keeping tracks with our SU Community Officer Ellie Mitchell. Taking us through her life so far and her zombie-evading tactics, we see how she'll fare in testing circumstances in this new podcast.

This week we were keeping tracks with connoisseur of all things French; Paul Smith. As he heads into a zombie apocalypse, we explore his go-to tracks and books as he takes us from his dynamic childhood through to 2018

As will quickly become apparent, this happens to be the 'pop culture' special of Extra! Extra! as the girls tackle the biggest news stories of the week with frequent reference to sitcoms, action movies, and 80s music (honestly, no one has talked this much about Jason Donovan in over 20 years). 

In addition to that, there's discussion (a term used very loosely here) on Arkady Babchenko's fake assassination, updates to MI5's privacy policy, Judy Perkins's decision to circumnavigate Florida, and the truth behind one man's death in Pompeii. 

But mainly it's Jason Donovan - thus highlighting why you should never listen to music in the studio before recording a show. 

This is the news like you've never heard it before. Believe me. 

Missed out on last week's show and want to know how Ella and Rebecca coped without Abi's guiding hand (presumably she was off doing spy work in Eastern Europe instead)? Catch up right here:

Kathryn chats to Ruby Harrison (Nottingham University's Women's Officer) about the awful graffiti in Florence Boot Hall at Nottingham university - why this doesn't represent the university as a whole but the issues that have emerged as a result. Also, Germaine Greer's controversial comments regrading rape laws.

There's no Abi this week, unfortunately, so Ella and self-proclaimed "not self-proclaimed woman-of-mystery" Rebecca have to tackle the news unsupervised. What could possibly go wrong?

Why not find out for yourself as they discuss Ireland repealing the 8th Amendment (via bananas), Donald Trump cancelling the North Korean nuclear summit (with a resurgence of our planned Korean rom-com), the frustration of GDPR emails (and technology in general; watch out for smart fridges, is all I can say), and the weather (because this is Britain, so why not?). 

This is the news like you've never heard it before. Believe me.
