Our series of bonus podcasts continues with Jim Maddock and David Jordan from Air Traffic picking their favourite albums of the 00s.

First up, Jim goes with Dizzee Rascal's Boy In Da Corner, the genre-crossing, game-changing debut from the London rapper which put grime in the mainstream. Like Dizzee, the Air Traffic boys were just in their teens when they signed their record deal and we discuss the pressures of being in the music industry at that age. 

Then David goes for the brilliant Funeral by Arcade Fire - another classic of the era - which somehow leads to Rich's verdict on the latest (spoiler: brilliant) Libertines reunion shows!
