Beth brightens up your Saturday with an eclectic playlist of music, plus lots of laughs! On this week's show, she's extending the Pride Month joy into July with a Matter of Life and Beth about dancing in a lesbian bar. She takes a listener up on their dare to play some Rage Against The Machine, and elsewhere in the show she's got music from The Turtles, Ike & Tina Turner and Kitchens of Distinction. Her Caffeine Kick features tracks from Junior Senior, The Sonics and Eric B & Rakim, providing the perfect dose of energy to get your weekend moving. Coffee cups at the ready!
