In 2017 comedian James Acaster had a breakdown. This followed the end of his relationship with his long term partner and also his manager. He sort solace by immersing himself in the music of 2016, leading to him strongly believing that 2016 was the greatest year for music ever, amassing over 700 albums to prove it. We explore this claim and answer the question, was it really the best year for music ever?

Lets face it, most of us can't get away with walking very far barefoot. The first shoes emerged in the ice age in 40000bc and were made of bark. By 2023, the footwear industry is estimated to be worth around USD 403.18 billion.
It's hard to avoid footwear when it comes to songs. Red shoes are a particularly popular topic for example, as are celebrations of sneaker brands.
We're talking Shoes and Boots on today's episode.
