In this second episode, Graham and Chris - while grateful for almost 40 years of Pet Shop Boys' output - discuss the items that are still on their wishlists.

They share their fantasy PSB reissues, dream concert setlists and venues, the catalogue gaps they’d like to see filled - and there’s some speculation about some of their favourite unreleased song titles.

In Depth is the podcast for Pet Shop Boys fans, created by two fans from the north of England who wouldn’t normally do this kind of thing.  

In this first introductory episode, Graham and Chris discuss their favourite PSB introductions, reminisce about how they were first introduced to PSB music, and share some of the things they’ve been introduced to as a result of orbiting planet PSB.

The pair have previously only met once, so join them on a journey of discovery that takes in New York, Berlin, the Carlyle hotel on South Beach Miami, and a Halifax record shop. Not only do they share their memories, but discover some surprises too.
