Great little episodes diving into the Beat and its members! As a long time fanatic of all ska and Two Tone, really getting a lot out of this ! Nice work !!!

The attention to detail and depth of research is stunning. I didn’t know Rancid “Get Outta My Way” was an Uptones cover, then the radio clip of Joe Strummer referencing the band put it over the top. Best episode yet I’d say.
