Amazing podcast series - definitely worth a listen for all music lovers, not just Franz Ferdinand fans.
How about an Arctic Monkeys series next? In fact, can you start making these for all 00s indie bands please? Except Razorlight.

Apple Podcasts5Teddy Deluxe PodUnited Kingdom3 years ago - Amazing podcast - must listen!
I have always been a Franz Ferdinand fan and thought I would just dip into this podcast and hear some stories I already know. But I was hooked from the first minute and ended up listening to them all back to back. There’s so much I didn’t know about the band before and it’s great to hear it said in their own words! I would recommend it to all music fans!
