A lot happened this episode from zip up hoodies to love song dedications, conjoined twins and a whole bit about 20 Questions, it was a bit hard to know what to title it. It was a bit chaotic but that's fine. We were joined by special guest, Grace.

Through the early to mid-noughties, Amanda Palmer's voice cut through as frontwoman for the Dresden Dolls. Their cabaret pop filled the airwaves, and when she went solo fans were just as curious. Palmer is a woman of great conviction; she speaks often about the communities that form around art, and is unrelenting in her commitment to her own vision. She's also great company. When she did this Take 5 in the Summer of 2011, she had just got married and was about to release her album Amanda Palmer Goes Down Under. So from the Magnetic Fields to Paul Kelly and the appropriately-titled Love, here's Amanda Palmer with her love song dedications. Jason Webley - ‘Eleven Saints {Ft. Jay Thompson}' The Magnetic Fields - ‘The Book of Love' Ben Folds Five - ‘Song for the Dumped' Paul Kelly With Uncle Bill - ‘Taught By Experts' Love - ‘Everybody's Gotta Live'

Part 2/6 of the thirteenth episode where we discussed all things Disney. Some classic and new Disney films have awkward situations, so Paul, Merryn (belatedly), Christian and Scarlett investigated those icky and fishy moments.
In 2013, after 17 years of being on air, Richard Mercer left his final Love Song Dedication. It was Trisha Yearwood’s 'How Do I Live (Without You)?' Now, two friends are putting on a show, that they would love to run by him first. Turns out... he’s a pretty hard dude to find. || All original music by Tom Hogan. Special thanks to Claire & Antoinette. Contains clips from Love Song Dedications on WSFM.
