The programme covers all styles of music and years and features songs that may be considered “cheesy” as well as classic pop and rock, which are classed as “crackers.”

Presenter Nev Johnson said: “I love finding tracks that make people, smile, groan, or cheer. It’s a lot of fun to do and as we are an internet-based station, I get requests from all over the world.”
