    Somehow found out the brothers had a podcast via the We are The Fall podcast (equally great, but of course, a different/listener perspective!). Love listening to Paul and Steve! Pure love of music.

    Truly wonderful Xmas episode. How it took almost half an hour for somebody to actually say "Obviously this is completely futile" is beyond me 😀
