Our Kind of Idiot

It’s the antepenultimate show, filled with big tunes, small claims to fame, bad tattoos, a duck called Toilet, and a poignant tale about a wasp.

It’s the antepenultimate show, filled with big tunes, small claims to fame, bad tattoos, a duck called Toilet, and a poignant tale about a wasp.

The playlist includes a huge tune from Bob Seger, a Loleatta Holloway song composed and produced by Dan Hartman, a Silver Convention hit that’s light on lyrics but big on boogie, and some Proclaimers for the Scottish men’s football team.

To listen to the show on most smart speakers, just 'ask BBC Sounds to play Shaun Keaveny' and send any missives to shaun@bbc.co.uk.

Produced by Spiritland Productions for BBC Radio 2.
