Guy returns to send birthday greetings to Carole King and Professor Bernard Lovell, and receives a message in code... possibly.

There's old music from David Bowie, Carole King and the Monkees and new music from Fontaines D.C., Max Pope and Grace Cummings.

Plus some fantastic Song for Guy recommendations and the Beckapedia goes Brazilian. What more do you need for a Sunday afternoon?
