Mystery Themes!
Tonight's show will feature two sets of songs, each of which has a secret theme. I'll update the playlist as we go, and listeners are invited to make guesses about what they think the theme might be. Maybe I can give a prize for anyone who's able to guess each before I announce the answer.
I'll start you off with the hint that both themes tonight are works of fiction.
Congrats to Leo Pezzementi for being the first to guess this one.
