Lauren Raham returns to the podcast with a copy of the self-titled debut from English-American rock band the Pretenders. We forgo popular tracks like "Brass in Pocket" and "Stop Your Sobbing" in favor of focusing on the reckless punk abandon of the record, which may surprise listeners only familiar with their hits.

Co-host Jeremy takes us into the whimsical world of British psychedelic folk act the Incredible String Band. While their earlier, more celebrated work tends to be priced higher, this 1971 album is generally priced very affordably. We listen to some choice cuts as we detail highlights from the band's career such as their forgotten appearance at Woodstock.

Taylor Rowley returns to help us shine the spotlight on multimedia artist Yoko Ono. Known to the general public for her wildly experimental music and art in association with her late husband John Lennon, this album finds Yoko processing her grief in the immediate aftermath of his death. Her singing and the musical arrangements here are more gentle and restrained than most might expect.

Co-host Sean decides that now is the time to focus our lens on experimental duo Godley & Creme. We previously discussed the group when we featured their former band 10cc way back in Season 1, but now we give them our full, undivided attention and explore how such a strange album could be released on a major label.
