IN FIVE

IN FIVE episodes

August 25, 2020 IN FIVE [EP. 2] - Tchaikovsky
Join Edward Thomas as he awkwardly argues with himself about the most appropriate 5 passages of music to encompass the influences, attributes and untimely end of Russian fireside favourite Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
Has the composer been misrepresented by his popular works? Was his death the result of an insidious homophobic plot (answer: clearly not)? And most pressingly: Is it possible for a "pop" musician to talk about "Classical" music without sounding pretentious?

May 17, 2020 IN FIVE [EP. 1] - Weezer (with Rob Wilson)
Hello! Welcome to 'IN FIVE' - a new podcast where myself and a guest try, rather cruelly, to represent a musical artist's entire career in just 5 songs.
In our inaugural episode, I am joined by expert talky man Rob Wilson with the express mission of cutting oddball American Power Pop/Rock/Meme/Wedding band Weezer down to chewable dimensions.
