A Wet Towel Situation

Liza’s occupied with thoughts of cat cafés, catnip, and beguiling Captain Kirk. And there's a newly hatched saying for stupid questions.

Liza’s busy brain is occupied with thoughts of cat cafés, catnip, and beguiling Captain Kirk on an icy moon.

Tales of public grooming reach a nadir on an early morning bus, a pigeon makes a dramatic exit, and there’s a newly hatched saying for stupid questions.

This week's carefully selected playlist includes Jimmy Dean’s ode to a 6ft 6 hero, an all-time favourite from Skee-Lo, a belter from Cheryl Lynn, and a tune from Joan Armatrading that you cannot fight.

To listen to the show on most smart speakers, just say: “Ask BBC Sounds to play Liza Tarbuck".

Produced by Spiritland Productions for BBC Radio 2.
