The episode discusses Prince Harry's legal battle with the Daily Mail, the chart success of Olivia Dean and Sam Fender, and the resurgence of the vodka cranberry drink.

But what song might stop them from breaking further records if England wins the World Cup? Step aside, obscure liquers. The new drink of the summer (apparently) is a Vodka Cranberry.
