Get your Saturday going with Beth Ditto on the radio!

Get your Saturday going with Beth Ditto on the radio! This week she's bringing you another eclectic mix of tunes, ranging from 1950s country to brand new U.S. Girls, and everything in between. Fuel yourself with the Caffeine Kick at 11am, this week featuring Destiny's Child and Nova Twins. Beth reacts to some of your messages on last week's Matter of Life and Beth, as well as some listener craft projects, and she brings you a brand new Matter of Life and Beth in the form of a 2009 Eminem diss track. Can you guess what it will be?

If you would like to get in touch or request tracks for the Caffeine Kick, you can reach out at bethditto@bbc.co.uk.
