The Irreverent U2 Podcast: Kissing Lips and Breaking Hearts with the Garden Tarts

We're a U2-ish podcast. Sometimes heavy on the U2. Sometimes heavy on the 'ish. With the band not back in Vegas yet or making any other news, we had to resort to other rambling content. Plus... we finally reveal our listener from the Philippines!

We ended 2023 with All That You Can't Leave Behind but couldn't truly be done with it without mention the good, the fun and the bad of the Elevation Tour. Come on down memory lane with us. Maybe it will spark some of your own. www.thegardentarts.com SUPPORT: www.patreon.com/thegardentarts AND www.buymeacoffee.com/thegardentarts twitter: @the_gardentarts instagram: @the_gardentarts

The boys are back in Vegas but there’s no new details to report. (Other than something we forget until the very end.) So, we had to find our own way through this ep.

We are delighted to speak, once again, with Ciara Lawrence from Ciara's Pink Sparkle Pod about her discussion with U2's Adam Clayton. We catch up on a little U2 news and then head into the best part with our VIP guest!

The Garden Tarts didn't make it to opening night but Correspondent Jenny did! She brings us a full report. Plus, our thoughts on some of the visuals, the set list, famous attendees and assholes on the internet. Plus, an intriguing ticketing idea Metallica uses for their fan club. Would it work for U2 and U2 fans? We aren't so sure. We've got questions for Bono over whiskey and cake, too!

This ep is light on the 'ish and heavy on the U2. There is lots going on in the U2 world and we have questions for Bono over whiskey and cake. In this ep: a major guest announcement (oops!) Sarajevo Film Festival (and yes, we figured out the strike question. We'll answer next week.) reissued and remastered "Stay (Faraway, So Close)" and how it compares to the 1993 release Sinead O'Connor's funeral...

You may not have noticed we were gone but, we were and it's time to catch up. Join Jenny and Hillary as we catch up after a few weeks off.
