It's the big 6-0 and for episode 60 I'm joined by a man that is truly an expert on his chosen album, because he's literally written a book on it!

Ben Cardew is a music journalist, radio host, podcaster and DJ who joined me from Barcleona to deep dive Stereolab's - Transient Random Noise Bursts with Announcements from 1993.

In 2021, Ben relesed his first book - Daft Punk's Discovery - A Future Unfurled and in March will release his second - Space Age Bachelor Pad Music - The Story of Stereolab in 20 Songs.

It's a really fun episode where we discuss the crushing dispointment of being a Morrissey fan, reading French books to look cool and robots wearing wellies.

Viva Norwich!

For episode 59 I'm joined by actor, comedian and social media sensation - Ed Jones!

You'll be familiar with Ed's social media antics or maybe you'll know him from his comedic work with sketch group Crybabies. But if you've been following his work for long enough you'll know that Ed started his career in the arts as a John Mayer inspired singer songwriter.

We get into all of it as we discuss Mayer's seminal 2006 album - Continuum while also asking the big questions, such as - "How much sex was Mick Hucknall REALLY having?"

Best enjoyed with "a gentlemens' Guinness"

It’s the milestone every millennial has been fearing, but January 2026 marks 20 years since Arctic Monkeys released their debut album and (not be too hyperbolic, but…) EVERYTHING changed.

In true James Murphy style, I can say “I was there…”

So for this special solo episode of the podcast I run through my early Arctics experiences and the impact they had on me
