April 27, 2019 The Mild Mannered Army - His 'n' Hers with Lipgloss Jill
A look at one of the great albums of the Britpop era; His 'n' Hers by Pulp. Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year it seemed like a good idea to get Pulp obsessive Lipgloss Jill Nolan from the Don't Point That Horror At Me podcast to join me. From the darkest corners of Jarvis Cocker's mind we examine the imagery, themes and naughtiness of this seminal album.

April 11, 2019 The Mild Mannered Army Episode 6 - OASIS TOP 20 (part two)
