Gav and James delve back into the mailbag to discuss venue upgrades, manageable festival growth and their favourite pod moments. 

But before that, Gav takes the chance to gloat about the extreme metal coup of the year… booking The Berzerker outta nowhere!

Gav hopped on and back off the best tour of the year quicker than you can say “you don’t have a bunk”. 

But bus dramas aside, the We Lost The Sea, Overhead, The Albatross and Dimscûa package delivered in spades. 

Meanwhile, housebound James secured some exciting 2027 bookings and updated his favourite albums spreadsheet.

The stacked We Lost The Sea, Overhead, The Albatross and Dimscûa UK tour starts tomorrow. 

Mr Departure Songs, Mark Owen, joins the pod from Paris to discuss playing Europe before arriving on these shores for their debut UK run. 

Selling out cities, sacrificing profits for crew, early load ins and bigger production and where they sit in the post rock landscape. 

Do not miss this tour.

Security. The festival job that should be invisible. And sometimes, they’re completely missing…

This week, we finally get to the long-awaited security episode.
The people who keep you safe while you’re crowdsurfing, stop you sneaking onto Gav’s balcony, and (ideally) keep the whole festival running without you ever really noticing they’re there — this episode is all about them.

Oh, and James’ neighbours drilling? That gets a few mentions too.

We go again, every Thursday morning.

Gav and James dive back into the mailbag to tackle the topics of the day: the importance of grassroots venues, how their “future” headliner predictions panned out and how cancelled are the cancelled?

We go again, every Thursday morning.

From a "scrappy" punk kid to a corporate big wig at Marshall, Steph Carter has had an unusual and contrasting journey in the music business.

He joins the pod to discuss the shocking rise and unfortunate demise of his old band before using his experience to help guide one of the most recognisable brands in rock n' roll.

And. We’re. Back! 

Sober and as on the ball as you can expect. Gav and James tackle Damnation’s biggest ever announcement and a surprise promise, if People Power pulls through, before getting caught back up on all the drama from the past three weeks.

James is still on the beach and Gav is emotionally on holiday still so it’s Shifty again. Are you ready for this one? 

From early (surprising) jobs, to first records, this one goes to places 2P1P has never been before…but don’t worry there’s still plenty of festival and music chat. 

Listener questions, J.D. & rum, whats not to love?

The boys are away so you’re stuck with me (Shifty). This week is a Q&A beer soaked bonanza. 
 
 Book recommendations, holiday tips, balancing friendship and business plus is it OK for James to move bands around so he can watch them?!

This ones the warm up to next weeks riot…

Oceansize to Empire State Bastard, Biffy Clyro to Cardiacs, there’s one talent who connects them all: Mr Mike Vennart.

But what’s it like being Mr Dependable, going from the top slot at Reading Festival to Glasgow’s Cathouse? Being recruited by your favourite band, filling in for James on a week’s notice and taking Dave Lombardo to Aldi. 

The man has seen and done it all.
