Me And I & Happy New Year

Everyone has an ABBA story. Like A Magic Spell is a song-by-song podcast which shares and unlocks the sheer joy of ABBA.

For this episode, Adrian is joined by music journalist and host of the Official Eurovision Song Contest Podcast, Steve Holden to discuss ME AND I and HAPPY NEW YEAR. They talk about when Steve met Björn over Zoom, the perils of Mexican fireworks and, inevitably, the bleakness of New Year.
