Hiraeth is a curious Welsh word to kick-start this week’s Almost a Radio Show podcast… there is a song called My Jellybean… another deserving winner of a Darwin Award… a cover of a 300-year-old song… Lucky Starr with his biggest hit… Starbuck does the one-hit-wonder… Canadian Sarah McLachlan has a sweet performance of Blackbird off the Beatles White Album and there are the usual life hacks, whack facts, banter and fun…

This week’s Almost a Radio Show podcast is brought to you by a fear of happiness – yes, there is such a phobia… There’s Annie Lennox in a band before the Eurhythmics… Another winner of the coveted Darwin Award who improved our gene pool by removing himself from it… Limp Bizkit covers The Who… Barry Crocker has a one-hit-wonder… there’s the late but wonderful Billy Thorpe and Blood Sweat & Tears cover The Beatles plus whack facts, musing and a dud invention…

In Yiddish, would you rather be a mensch or a schmuck? Also in this Almost a Radio Show podcast, Roy Orbison in his first band, The Wink Westerners… Luke Combs covering Tracy Chapman… Electric Avenue is the one-hit-wonder… we dig up the terrific English-Aussie rocker, Jon English… Stevie Wonder works it out with a Beatles cover… Hair in a Can is the failed invention and a Canadian lawyer improves our collective gene pool by removing himself from it to take out the Darwin Award… and, as usual, there are musing, banter, trivia and deep meaning of life thoughts like, does a drinking straw have one hole or two?
