Marianne Faithfull - Broken English
Bob Bucko Jr makes his comeback to the podcast with the 1979 comeback album from English singer Marianne Faithfull. A far cry from her Sixties recordings, this album's defiant tone and futuristic sound made it a critical and commercial success, yet its impact has largely been lost to time.

Deodato - Deodato 2
Guest Bevan Bell brings us an album from Brazilian keyboardist, composer and arranger Eumir Deodato.

Little River Band - Sleeper Catcher
Australian correspondent Melonie Bayl-Smith returns to the show to provide some context for a big hit album by Little River Band. We discover just how differently this record was marketed to U.S. audiences and also touch on the various legal disputes which have resulted in a completely new lineup still performing as LRB.

Robert Thomas Velline - Nothin' Like a Sunny Day
Co-host Sean introduces us to the work of Seventies country rock singer Robert Thomas Velline, who turns out to be former Sixties teen idol Bobby Vee. As we listen, we look closer at his career arc and find out that this album—while certainly unique in his catalog—isn't quite the anomaly it initially appears to be.

Paul Verhoeven - RoboCop
The prime directives for this podcast are: serve the public, protect the innocent, and uphold the greatest film ever made—RoboCop, director Paul Verhoeven's 1987 masterpiece. Guest Mark Weathersby joins us as we finally reveal the true purpose of I'd Buy That For A Dollar.

Rick Astley - Whenever You Need Somebody
