Time to celebrate! 2026 is the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America. We go back to the Bicentennial, 1976, and look at the songs from the charts back then. This was quite a year for variety, with Thin Lizzy and Walter Murphy representing two extremes.

Steve "the Limey" Atkins was born and raised in Manchester, England and hails from Florida, where he met Blake "the Yank" Bennett. Steve is a master stylist with experience in haircare. Blake was born in Texas, lived a lot of places, and is a tech nerd and voice actor with a home studio.
The two share a love of music and mental encyclopedias that overlap quite nicely, allowing them with each episode to pull out songs from both sides of the big pond and mock-argue about whose music is better.
The show is audio-only, with occasional live streams to Facebook or short promo fun bits on YouTube. They work for their shared venture The Limey and the Yank LLC, which produces the show.
