I recorded this around the end of October, which is a time of death in a lot of places. This is not real song but are real human experiences of dealing with death.

Chase, I Hardly Know Ya - Marietta Continuing to leave clues to the host's demographic data in this one. We cover ageing, regret, holding on to things, and a lesson on how reading too much into a song makes it something else. Nietzsche turns up again. The guest does a harrowing read that makes an already emo song even more emotional.

Listen on YT: Brothers on a hotel bed Not always smooth ride but you give it a good go anyway. We cover, ageing, drifting apart, divorce, drug-fuelled romance on the winter solstice, menstrual cycles, and emotional adverts.

This one is a tongue twister, a regular is back, once again we shove a meaning into the lyrics like Cinderella's stepsisters shove their feet into a glass slipper. But it is a coherent lesson of life growing up and the man getting you down, and long pigs.

This song grabbed our attention almost instantly and was quite the journey to decipher. We talk about identity, mortality, selfishness and more. And may have learnt what the connection is between our guest and an Italian Western film composer.

Back to the smut in this one. We investigate Vaseline, magazines, tangerines, malicious compliance, rhyming “orange”, and the host talks your through his vasectomy. Also, only just realised that Wayne Coyne’s name is supporting evidence if said in a particular way.

The host and guest explore David Bowie's Starman, and cover generational change, conformity, identity, belonging and how new ideas spread. Also: sonic weapons, a possible moon god and Nietzsche (of course).

This episode, we take on “Missed the Boat” by Modest Mouse and end up talking about regret, comparison, stubborn ideas, missed opportunities, adulthood, and the strange confidence people carry while mostly making things up as they go. Along the way, we argue about dams, pillars, promotions, death, whether anyone really knows what they’re doing, and why sometimes sounding confident is enough to get...

Don't call it a come back! Great read from my guest on a really hard song. We lost the recording the first time so tried it again!

Episode based on two Apple TV shows - Lucky - Bad sisters No spoilers

Host says blasphemy, Guest takes it on the chin. Maybe if you listen to this episode the answer will come to you in a vision

New format, was finding it hard to choose songs this format aims to make that part of the processes quicker... but might be a bit of a ramble...

Finally, I've been badgering my guest for ages to come do an episode, they chose: Power by Kanye West

A Private Understanding - Protomartyr " Conscience wakes despair, The night is an accumulation of dark air "... and so is this episode, buckle up its dark dive.

Another great talk with my guest (the one who appeared on the Sunflower Metaphysics episode). We dig deep here, not for those who get uncomfortable by darkness.
