1.20  Sinead O’Connor Tribute  

Especially with the tragic news that Irish Singer songwriter SINEAD O’CONNOR died this week - after struggling with her mental health for years.  She was an Activist, a musician, and a mother.
But above all, it was her political views and her voice that defined her. 

We pay tribute to her life on the show today.

1.35 M. Ward's new album 'Supernatural Thing' 

M Ward, a musician from Portland, Oregon released his 12th studio album SUPERNATURAL THING last month.

The album as you will hear is inspired by M Wards love of radio - and the supernatural occurrences that happen when songs are transmitted to people and the possible effect of listeners mood and emotions 

The album is one of his best in many years - featuring collaborations with First Aid Kit and Nico Case - with warm radio sounds using vintage gear - and even a David Bowie cover. 

Charlotte Ryan spoke to M Ward about the album, collaborations and a shared love of radio.
