AMT346: Mickey Mouse, Warhol's Soup Cans and Rubber Fetishes
Ten years. Ten years! TEN. YEARS. Ten years we've been doing this show. TEN. In that time, technologies have waxed and waned; world leaders have come and gone; yet here we still are, answering the questions that you supply. To celebrate our birthday, in AMT346 we provide a thrilling glimpse into the AMT Process, receive a gift from a musical hero, and tackle a question on Olly's favourite subject. Or, at least, his third favourite subject. Find out more about the episode at http://answermethispodcast.com/episode346.
