  • Merry Xmas Episode

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

  • Wasted Opportunity

    I found the episode with Una Baines and was looking forward to what I thought would be an interesting and insightful interview but it was ruined by the ‘interviewers’ constant interruptions, inane childish laughing, talking about themselves and random diversions that had nothing to do with Una or The Fall.

    A podcast hosted by Beavis and Butthead would have been more enlightening

    Im amazed how Una Baines showed such patience.

    Lads, just grow up. I don’t want to hear about you or what you find... more

    Carry on y’all. Every episode has been an interesting listen. You’ve definitely improved on the production side. The first episodes were a tough listen, especially the live from a pub and the sweet accents, but whatever the complaints, I’m in.

    The Hanley’s sense of rock/pop history is remarkable. I’m still waiting for a Magma or Art Bears reference! Doubtless, we’ll get there in time…
