Everyone has an ABBA story. Like A Magic Spell is the song-by-song podcast which unlocks and shares the joy of ABBA.
This special episode is an interview with longstanding ABBA author and biographer, Jan Gradvall, who's written a fantastic new book, The Book of ABBA: Melancholy Undercover. The phrase comes from a quote from Benny about the group's music: "Even the happier songs are melancholy at their core. What we did was melancholy, undercover."
The book is available to buy now.
