Patrick Teoh takes you on another foot-stomping, hand-clapping ride down memory lane as he blows dust off his vinyl collection to bring you a selection of hits from the 60s to 80s.

De La Soul's debut release, 3 Feet High & Rising is one that was an oddity when it dropped. The world of hip-hop in the late 80s was pretty much in the gangsta boom - with groups like NWA & Public Enemy dominating the charts with their hardcore, confrontational & sometimes violent lyrics. 3 Feet introduced the use of funky, quirky and eclectic sampling to invoke unfiltered fun. A landmark release for the genre, this week on the program we go Track By Track into that seminal album.

Kam, returning after recovering from his second Covid-19 infection, decides to talk about his experience losing his sense of taste in this episode, and how that experience changes his understanding and appreciation of food. But before that, Ong Kar Jin talks about the novelties of time capsules, after reading an article about a letter that was only delivered 100 years later to its intended address. In the second part of the show, futurist Matt Armitage looks at the rise of the deinfluencer, the antithesis to influencer, and what they’re supposed to represent.

Can Arsenal pick up the pieces and rediscover their scintillating form again? Aston Villa, managed by former Gunners manager, Unai Emery awaits this weekend in the Premier League. The pundits look ahead to this match and other matches, as well as review the midweek European action, including that epic 2-2 draw between Barcelona and Manchester United, only on Just For Kicks!

A new report has found that Malaysians lost 159 hours last year on the road during peak hours. To explore this, first we looked back at a previous interview with Dr Ahmad Farhan Mohd Sadullah, Professor of Transport Engineering from Universiti Sains Malaysia.

Then, we also hear from experts, including:

- Professor Dr Muhammad Zaly Shah, Professor of Transportation and Logistics at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia

- Aziff Azuddin, Independent Urban Mobility Researcher

- Bernard Chong, Transport Activist, TransitMalaysia
And of course, we had to ask our listeners about their driving experiences and woes as well (alongside asking for possible solutions).
