In this episode - The Rutles, and a strong case for music as an educational tool of great depth and power. Featuring songs from the made-for-tv-movie All You Need Is Cash, this is a loving tribute to some music (and words) that very much mattered to me then, and now.

Thank goodness it still exists in the family archives.

Hosted by Alex Oliver (the "music man, record guy, host and curator") The Vinyl Playground Podcast, a series of "mix tape letters to family back home" which mixes equal parts classic popular music, history, education and critique.

For music fans both young and older, music is the softest shoulder. Tune in, and let's discover some music together.
