Madame Magenta: Sonos Mystica

We're raising money for Greenpeace, and yeah, nah, yeah, this one has a lot of good Aussie accents mate? And we also invented a revolutionary (no pun intended) new air cooling system. Stick around for both of those things. And don't forget, head on over to YouTube to hear the songs that we can't put into the podcasts! In this episode, Bernard played Let's Stay Together (Al Green), Solsbury Hill (P...

It's the final instalment in M&B's Pride Month charity streams, and we're so close to hitting a £700 milestone... will we cross that threshold this episode?

Cut from this podcast, but featured in the live stream were Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy (Queen), Make Me Feel (Janelle Monae)...

It's the second instalment in M&B's series of Pride Month live streams!

After a brief hiatus, M&B are back with more esoteric insights, toe-tapping tunes and rallying cries of rage in this era of late-stage capitalist chaos. Don't forget, you can head to YouTube and watch the catch-up version of these live streams, and you'll get to hear Bernard's songs that get cut from the podcasts! Songs in this episode: Chappell Roan: Hot To Go, Talking Heads: Once In A Lifeti...

It's another multi-charity special! Plenty of Muppet-talk in this week's stream, along with a pondering on whether Waterworld is a maligned classic, and some distinctly unhelpful spiritual guidance from Jilly Cooper and this week's guest publication, The Medieval Traveller by Norbert Ohler. And of course, we helped raise money for a host of charities: PCRF, Medical Aid For Palestinians, Trans Life...

Good Gollum, Miss Mollum! It's another M&B charity live stream, raising money for the PCRF - Palestine Children's Relief Fund. A very body-positive episode this week (with no thanks to our star bibliomancy text, Pandora by Jilly Cooper). Head on over to the YouTube recording of the livestream to hear Bernard play Both Sides Now (Joni Mitchell) and Boy Child (Scott Walker), which of course can'...

On this week's episode of "half-remembered things and dubiously named British foodstuffs", M&B discuss the phenomena of Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire Puddings, the Fray Bentos Meaty Pud, the Double Decker, and of course, Mr Brain's Pork F*****s. Join us next week, when M&B promise to eat at least one (1) of those foodstuffs on air! Watch the next stream on Sunday 3rd May, at 8pm UK time (3pm ET)...

Here's the link to our Bandcamp page And here's the link to our Ko-fi page Hello, listeners! It’s us again. Hopefully you listened to our last message. If you didn’t, it was about how we’re taking all our shows off Spotify. And now, that time has come: as of today, we’ve requested their removal. Spotify makes the process as opaque as possible, so we don’t have a definitive date for when they will...
