A new bonus ep for our patrons about the solo record by Kenny Vance - the man they call "The Man Behind the Dan".*

It's a doo-wop record made in 1975! It's niche! It's kind of gloriously weird! Did anyone ask for this? No! Is it one of our longest episodes yet? Yes! Are we, your hosts, the masters of self-sabotage? Boy howdy!

A song by Paul Simon, for reasons that will become clear on listening: https://youtu.be/nQ7sL9rdl58

*No one calls him this.

It's the season finale! Thanks for listening one & all.

It's the season finale. Andrew appears to have stomached an entire Steely Dan album without vomiting a rainbow of jazz-tinged despair. Will he fall at the final hurdle?

In this bumper episode, legal expert Matt Hasler joins Oli and Andrew to discuss Steely Dan's biggest UK hit. Is it a harmless cod-reggae trifle? Or has Papa gone too far this time?

New on Patreon! A pint-sized, Purdie-themed bonus episode to rival the tensest courtroom dramas.

The defendant: Bernard Purdie. The charge: claiming to play drums on at least 21 Beatles tracks. It's true crime at its most thrilling – and most funky.

Join Andrew Souter, Oli Pyper and The Drum Doctor as they rifle through the evidence and stare justice in the eye.

This was reluctantly excised from our recent episode covering The Fez. Enjoy!
