The MewX Podcast

Welcome to The MewX Podcast!

Season 4 of the podcast ends with a chat with Mew's bassist, Johan Wohlert. He talks about his role in the band, how he came back to Mew after seven years out, his relationship with "No More Stories", how it was to play "And the Glass Handed Kites" live from start to finish, Mads Wegner's influence on the live shows, the upcoming symphonic shows, what he wants to do with Mew in the future, and much more. Enjoy almost two hours with "The Captain".

We'll be back with season 5 in a little while.
