Bugeye's Rock, Pop, Rambles Angela Martin, Paula Snow, Kerrie Smith & Grace Healy

Paula and Angela look at the meaning behind Katy’ Perry’s song ‘Firework’ alongside random facts about Bonfire night. They then go down a darker path of true crime with Neko Case’s song ‘Deep Red Bells’ and Nirvana’s ‘Polly’.
WARNING: In this episode we talk about the Green River serial killer and serial rapist Gerald Friend which some listeners may find upsetting.
