Episode 449
Monday, 3 August, 2026

A brilliant and beloved song from a band that had the right mix of magic to get it right, and a cover that provides a wild backstory. Build Me Up Buttercup, originally by The Foundations, covered by The Valentines.  Outro music is Baby, Now That I've Found You, also by The Foundations, because how could we not.
