Rock Trios: When Three is Not a Crowd   Usually a rock band has at least four members. Why would anyone settle for just three? Oh, there are many good reasons, and in this episode you're going to experience the liberation of those who claim, 'the fewer, the better'. Maybe it is. You decide. Listen in.

The Real Roll of Sex in Rock   Like birds of a feather, sex and rock go together. But why? You don't find this corporeal attachment in jazz or classical. Why rock? Dr. Clarke, diplomatically and with an unnerving sense of purpose, confronts the facts and figures straight on. Tune in. Turn on. But don't drop out.

But that's exactly what we do. We are that brave and that desperate. Ferris Kennedy and Dr Clarke face each other in a death struggle,each curating questions solely to his own advantage. In this episode, you will uncover what makes us tick and generally sleep deprived. That should be scary enough reasons to dial in.
