Bigmouth

This week on the discerning pop culture podcast, FACE magazine veterans Richard Benson and Craig McLean join Andrew and Siân to discuss Philomena Cunk’s all-encompassing Reithian history of Britain. Turns out they would have put the Cunk on the cover of The Face… but doing what?

Plus: We spank ourselves senseless with a tambourine for the 25th birthday edition of Suede’s debut, explore the lore of the Great British Record Shop, and find out how Craig broke his arm messing about with Björk. It’s what your Bank Holiday was made for.

Marvel’s Black Panther is the afro-futurist movie that’s bringing new audiences to the superhero genre – and dragging every mum and dad into the multiplex over half term.

What will they make of U.S. GIRLS’ womanpower megapop album? And what are the records that only they like? Spoiler: Sali is standing up for the much-maligned TIN MACHINE. Presenters Siân “Stan” Pattenden and Andrew Harrison look on in horror.

It’s ROXY/BOWIE night on Bigmouth this week as we’re joined by journo-about-town and one-time Evening Standard “parties editor” SIMON MILLS and Guardian TV writer JULIA RAESIDE to discuss the return of Roxy’s debut and a very odd BBC radio drama on David Bowie’s final days. Also: Joan As Police Woman’s new album, the return of sleeper hit afterlife comedy The Good Place… and cycling with Gary Kemp out of Spandau Ballet.

Plus! The debut of our new co-presenter Siân “Stan” Pattenden! It’s like when they got a new member of Pan’s People. Only BETTER.
