“Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring.

This week I’m pleased to have Jon Langford from The Mekons on the show. He talks about the history of the band, their first two singles, and how an accidental meeting changed the course of the band.

"Gaddy" by Blue Dot Sessions.
