  • Episode 9 - Don't You Want Me by The Human League
    Back by unpopular demand, Careless Whispod returns after a short break to talk about the league of humans known as The Human League and their electro-pop track Don't You Want Me.
    Your intrepid hosts play it pretty fast and loose in this episode where what they forfeit in the way of structure, they make up for with interesting talking points, personal anecdotes and plenty of laughs. There is talk of board games, what it means to be cool, Warrant's Cherry Pie guy and a heap more. If you don't listen to this one we'll both be sorry! Don't you want a podcast? (If you answered "yes", then please press play.)

    You can't escape Careless Whispod *clap* Episode 2 *clap clap* You'll hear our every move... In the second episode of this overnight hit of a podcast, Jez and Gary cover the classic Hall & Oates hit with some serious paranoid overtones, Private Eyes.


    You'll hear talk of a brief history of the group, the facts and stats about the song, the SNL and Big Train parodies of the duo, Passiona, the film clip straight off the set of Inspector Gadget, of course the hand claps, and much, much more. The lads strike upon a tentative name for the segment regarding their favourite parts of songs plus there are plenty puns and jokes regarding Hall & Oates song titles (particularly ones that refer to the placement of kisses on lists). As always (well, for the second time so far), find out what next episode's song will be right at the end.

    Thanks for listening!
