Huw has an in-depth conversation with Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Bamborello ahead of the upcoming Death Cab For Cutie and The Postal Service joint UK shows in August.

The Postal Service is a collaborative musical project between Ben Gibbard from Death Cab For Cutie and Jimmy Bamborello, who makes music as Dntel. They released their only album, Give Up, in 2003 on Sub Pop Records, and it became a sleeper hit - now standing as the second biggest album released by the label after Nirvana's Bleach. In the same year, Ben's band Death Cab For Cutie released their commercial breakthrough album Transatlanticism. Having reunited in 2013 for a tenth anniversary tour, in 2023 they once again began playing live again in North America to mark twenty years since the record. In August, they're coming back to the UK for the first time since 2013, playing shows in Glasgow, Cardiff and a headline set at All Points East in Victoria Park in London.

Plus another brand new quiz is created by Huw's Music Quiz Generator, giving one of you the opportunity to win a Music Sounds Better With Huw pinbadge. And Huw declares that your evening has begun with the Home Run playlist at 5 o'clock.
