On August 16 2018 Queen of Pop Madonna celebrated her 60th birthday. In a fitting tribute on Turn The Beat Around, we celebrated with an epic 4 hour show playing 36 songs that span 4 decades. We were also joined by a number of special guests to help celebrate the milestone celebration. The show is available to listen to over 4 individual podcasts.

In Podcast Part 2, we’ve got a further selection of classic Madonna songs and our special guest interview with documentary film maker Reijer Zwaan.
