And the perfect song for ... recovering from an operation

And the perfect song for ... recovering from an operation
Fred de Vries and Tim Cohen discuss the perfect post-operation musical remedy.

You get out of hospital, you get home, what song do you put on? Are you feeling the need for upliftment and healing, or are you, like Fred, still dreaming about the nurse. Find out in our podcast.



The Perfect Song For… is a lighthearted weekly podcast in which journalists, writers and music aficionados Fred de Vries and Tim Cohen banter about a bunch of songs which are perfect for … something. And we have (famous and less famous) guests.

At the end of each show we choose one song which is the perfect song for the theme we picked. Along the way, we agree and disagree, and discuss the structure, character, history and quirks of the songs as far as we know them.
