    Have you ever used a recurve bow and pulled the bowstring too far back and let it go that it hits your ear? This podcast is like that but in a good way. Highly recommended! The listening to this podcast bit, (not flinging a bowstring across your earlobe analogy) but hey, if that’s what you’re into then that’s cool too. You do you and I’ll listen to Bob Capital of France.

  • Indie, weird, experimental, perfect

    I came to this podcast via Love and Radio, and I’ve listened to the first series many times over. Bleak and funny, absurdist and all too real, a hallucinatory journey into our worst impulses. It’s like nothing else I’ve ever heard. Listen, you won’t regret it
