This week we’re joined by Quietus co-founder JOHN DORAN and film writer LINDA MARRIC to pan for more pop culture gold among the gravel and bottle tops. RUSSIAN DOLL on Netflix: what’s the metaphysical subtext of TV’s funniest drinking, drugging and dying comedy? SHAUN RYDER’S LYRICS are finally collected in book form – is he the WB Yeats of Madchester as Tony Wilson claimed all those years ago? Who does Linda fancy for an Oscar? And loads of music too.  

Produced and presented by Andrew Harrison and Siân Pattenden. Studio production by Alex Rees. Bigmouth is a Podmasters production.
