This week Ian and the crew find themselves stranded on an island somewhere deep in the pacific, with very little but the records in their sleeves (ha...see what I did there!).

On the show, a glorious throwback to when the silver screen dazzled and television soared in technicolor brilliance! We're beaming you back to 1968—where the King commands the stage with his mesmerizing '68 Comeback Special, crooning and swaying into the hearts of a generation. We also speed through the steep, suspenseful streets of San Francisco with the epitome of cool, Steve McQueen, in the exhilarating film, ‘Bullitt’. And let’s not forget the whimsical voyage under the sea with The Beatles in ‘Yellow Submarine’, a psychedelic animation masterpiece that defined an era! We'll also be challenging your tv knowledge with our 1968 TV themes quiz! So sit back, relax, and let the nostalgia wave wash over you in today's enchanting exploration of 1968's TV and movie magic!

1968, a pivotal year in music, witnessed the debut of Taj Mahal with their self-titled blues-steeped album. They shared the stage with The Kinks who released The Village Green Preservation Society that year and contributed significantly to the era's soundscape with their unique rock flair. Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by The Small Faces delivered a whimsical psychedelic experience, exhibiting their narrative and musical ingenuity. We round out with Canadian rockers Steppenwolf who offered The Second”, a compelling follow-up to their debut, laden with hard rock energy and timeless anthems, continuing to echo the tumultuous and transformative spirit of the late 1960s.

In this week's episode, Ian finds himself in all sorts of bother with Glen, as we highlight songs, albums, and shows that we believe deserve a shout-out for no reason other than they rock our world. Enjoy!

On this week's show, Martyn and Ian discuss the inspiration behind the songwriting and production of their recent releases. Martyn introduces his new EP released under the pseudonym "They Walk Among Us", while Ian showcases his new LP "Shadowbox." Enjoy!

On the show, we're gearing up to delve deep into a realm where satire meets stellar warfare! Prepare to be warped into the ludicrous universe of "Spaceballs", where comedy meets intergalactic shenanigans. From there, we steer our starship to relive the glory and nostalgia of "The Last Starfighter", where playing vieo games can get you a gig of a lifetime! Hold tight, as we're not stopping there! We're diving headfirst into the militaristic (and yes satire soaked) future depicted in "Starship Troopers", where humanity stands united against an extraterrestrial onslaught. Lastly, brace yourself as we traverse the galaxies to (unfortunately) witness the epic ensemble of rebels in "Battle Beyond the Stars".

On the show we venture into the celestial realms etched into song by legendary artists. That's right- songs that have an outer-space theme to them. We have tracks from Tori Amos, Zager & Evans, Frank Sinatra, Oasis and Soundgarden to name just a few. Join us as we traverse the musical universe, bringing you closer to the stars through song. Enjoy!

On the show, we delve into the careers of those one-hit wonder actors who've graced iconic films and TV series. From Star Wars to The NeverEnding Story, The Original Batman TV Seriesto Cobra Kai. Tune in as we unravel the enigmatic journeys of these actors whose stars shone brightly while they lasted.

In this epsiode, where "sugar, sugar", isn't just a sweet refrain but a call to the golden times, we invite you to groove with us as we delve deep into the genre of the one hit wonder!

"Now you're just somebody that I used to know," but here, we rekindle the old flames with the tunes that once had us dancing at "the end of the road" cos "we can dance if we want to".

So, join us, as we ask the musical question, "What I am is what I am, are you what you are or what?"

Enjoy!

In this episode, we're boots and all into the movies of 1993—a year that showcased the expansive reach of cinema. We'll start with the heartwarming, cross-country romance of "Sleepless in Seattle", where destiny plays matchmaker for Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Then, brace yourself, we journey into the off-beat and unsettling world of "Bad Boy Bubby", an Australian film that challenges conventions and comfort zones. From there, we're off to the revolutionary island of "Jurassic Park", where Spielberg brought dinosaurs to roaring life, setting a new benchmark for visual effects. Lastly, we relive the comedic time loop of "Groundhog Day" where Bill Murray's weatherman learns life lessons in the most repetitive way possible. I got you babe!
