Transatlantic Rebels

Meet Jesal and Rochard. We are the Transatlantic Rebels.

In Episode 40, we talk about something topical and controversial... Captain America.

So Rochard (comic book expert) teaches Jesal (total novice) about what the hell is going on with some bloke called Nick Spencer and the creative decisions being taken by Marvel with regards to Captain America...

So within the comic books, he's been unveiled as a part of Hydra! He's staying well Hydra-ted! He's one of these punchable Alt-Right dudes!! He's in the Trump Cabinet!! So Captain America is like a Nazi or something? WTF IS HAPPENING!!!

It's a fascinating discussion, and the final third is all about #FakeNews and social media. We will probably upset everyone.

In Episode 39, we take a retrospective look at three pivotal albums by those pesky Oxford rockers, Radiohead.

There are discussions on "The Bends" (1995); "OK Computer" (1997); and "Kid A" (2000).

It's a controversial look at three oft-revered albums, and it may well ruffle a few feathers. "OK Computer" is one of Jesal's favourite albums ever and it turns 20 soon.

Jesal is drunk and Rochard pours his heart out - it's almost like you've hacked into our private phone-call.

A bit of fun sponsored by copious amounts of wine.
