Beth brightens up your Saturday with a healthy dose of tunes, laughs and caffeine! On this week’s show, Beth selects a Japanese garage-rock band’s hit single as her Matter, as well as a Pet Shop Boys-produced Liza Minnelli track to feature in the Caffeine Kick. We hear requests from listeners Steve and Jhenn with some Python Lee Jackson and Tom Petty, and Beth brings a mix of tunes from Blondie, Sunshine Anderson and Liquid Liquid to your mid-morning! If you have any requests for the Caffeine Kick, or you’d like to get in touch with the show, get in touch at bethditto@bbc.co.uk.
