If you're a music fan, you have to subscribe to this. The conceit is hysterical. The two hosts are incredible. I'm American, and on top of the fascinating chats they have, it's a great incite into British music culture, humor, etc. The Christmas episodes are a must. Can't say enough good things about it. I'll be recommending it to everyone, even if they aren't huge music buffs. Music fans in general will love this show.
The hosts in particular are super.
