With this edition of the show being number 101 we thought it would be a good idea to turn the show over to your deepest fear, or at least Winston Smith’s deepest fear, namely rats!
It was a little tougher than usual to find a show’s worth of music about rats – for some reason they don’t seem to be a particularly popular subject for songwriters and composers. But we eventually managed to find a pretty good selection, if we say so ourselves.
