Beth brightens up your Saturday with a healthy dose of tunes, laughs and caffeine! This week's show features jams from Bikini Mutants, The Chords, Altered Images, Suzi Quatro and much more! Beth plays listener Gabi’s submission for a Polish-language classic, as well as some Little Simz, requested by listener Emma. Her Matter of Life and Beth is a radical feminist punk track by the British band Huggy Bear, and this week’s Caffeine Kick packs a punch with music from The Julie Ruin, The Rezillos and ESG. If you have any requests for the Caffeine Kick, or you’d like to get in touch with the show, get in touch at bethditto@bbc.co.uk.
