Is this the way they say the future’s meant to be?
It’s November 1995. Pop was pulling in many different directions. But predominantly, it was swaggering its way towards the end of the century in a confident, Union Jack draped fashion. Whilst dance ... more
It’s the end, the end of the Seventies.
It was a decade that had started with Edison Lighthouse and ended with Another Brick in the wall. After 221 number one singles, the decade that had given us everything from Bowie to Bell bottoms, from Chopper ... more
Poor old Johnnie Ray.
Actually, I wonder what the heart wrenching vocal superstar of the fifties made of his starring role in the biggest selling single of 1982, thirty years after his own chart topping run? Did anyone ever ask how he felt watching ... more

Having listened to most of the shows & initially enjoying the show I’ve now unsubscribed; if you want the opinion of the interviewer just ask the guest - all he does is agree with the week’s guest. He fawns over them & is basically a nodding dog. Pretentious nonsense.

Crazy about this podcast. Iain is a charming and unassuming presenter (a rare thing) and really knows his hit parades! The conversations are an awesome mix of the personal and the musical. Very funny, nostalgic and informative. Keep the episodes coming!
My friend used to talk about reaching a flow state whilst flicking through records in HMV so much so that they’d need to know where the nearest public toilets were located. Similarly I’ve found this podcast has become the closest thing to catnip for me. All my favourite nerdy music writer personalities on here including Sian Pattenden, Pete Paphides, Andrew Harrison, Jude Rogers.
I’m not sure who Iain the presenter is but I want to know what he’s planning for his next pop related project becaus... more
