Craig celebrates the 30th anniversary of Saint Etienne's album 'So Tough', the band's highest-charting record.

Lead singer of the band Sarah Cracknell shares stories about how a Grand Slam-winning Spanish tennis player, a multitude of hip hop artists, and films like Lord of the Spies all played a role in the creation of the album.

Also on the show, we shine a spotlight on the Little Sri Lankan Supper Clubs in Wednesdays I'm in Love, and we finish the show with a banger of your choosing in our Closing Credits. Get in touch: craig@bbc.co.uk
