Club Imaginos: With Special Guest Will McBride 31.10.2022

In this episode we are joined by musician, friend of the pod, and all-round nice chap Will McBride, as we discuss Jim’s mash-up playlist for Club Ninja and Imaginos. We argue that the two albums have more in common than you might otherwise think, keep bickering to a minimum, and whilst we have other Pod Plans for Imaginos - as befits its status - we hope you enjoy your visit to Club Imaginos. Wome...

Just the Pod, Ma'am: Motorcycles, Death and Whatnot 31.08.2022

In this episode we take an idea from one of Jim's friends and curate a playlist based around those essential themes of motorcycles, death, and drugs insofar as they appear in Blue Oyster Cult songs. Edited to make Brian's microphone sound ever so slightly better on the couple of occasions it gave up in the heat, and to prevent us being sued by the Catholic Church, Conservatives, Bee Keepers, and W...

Jim's Joe Bouchard Playlist 13.06.2022

Join Brian and Jim as they chat about Joe Bouchard's solo work, ahead of their imminent interview with him.

In this week's News of the Bungo: join Brian and his special guest, the musician and author Dave Dawson, as they talk about writing to musicians; what, if anything, they say when they reply; just who Derek and Dave Philpott are and how much of a threat they pose to the world order; how the humble, local shepherd's pie industry has been corrupted by Big Cottage Pie and what many are terming their '...

Unknöwn Erectus Fire 05.05.2022

In this episode, Brian and Jim create an LP-length playlist from the two Martin Birch-produced BÖC albums, Cultösaurus Erectus and Fire of Unknown Origin. There's our trademark jolly badinage, more insights than you can shake a stick at, and most of all love. We're so respectful of each other that at some points during the pod we each had to shower and towel off. Not together, obviously. But most...

Buck's Dhozen 17.04.2022
