Beth is back on your radio with tunes from Buzzcocks, MC5, Venus & The Flytraps, SAULT, Kelis and lots more. She hears about your clothes-drying methods, learns more British lingo, and reacts to one listeners’ food-related craft project!

Elsewhere in the show, she’s got another shot of energy in the Caffeine Kick with tracks from Leikeli47 and Violent Femmes. Plus, she’ll bring a new Matter of Life and Beth to the table. This week, it’s a J.J. Fad track from 1988…

If you would like to get in touch or request tracks for the Caffeine Kick, you can reach out at bethditto@bbc.co.uk.
