When we recorded Episode 1 of this series, we mentioned inpassing that the 1980s looked like being a particularly challenging decade toagree a Top 30 on, and so it proved!

Episode 2 is pretty much taken up with chatting through the 1980s songs that did make the cut, those that didn’t, and those that did but then didn’t.

Confused? Join the club.

We also managed to adopt another couple of bands into our ‘Scottish’ family, although we remain unconvinced that even the bands themselves would agree!

As well as Brian & Caroline, we were also joined forthis episode by our special guest the writer, activist & mum Donna McLean, who was 10 minutes late joining us, due to a combination of all three of these priorities all landing on the same day as the podcast recording. No, really.

Oh, and of course Zoom wasn’t particularly happy to beworking over the festive season and made sure that our screen formatting wasn’t quite what we wanted it to be.

That Sony Award is feeling further away than ever….

Onwards and upwards

Enjoy, and stay safe
