Splendid

A must for all Fall fans - witty and moving. Holds the world record for mentioning how great the cover of Lost in Music is.

The Best

Funny, honest, revealing, and quite frankly, one of the best music podcasts on the internet. I listen to this when I’m out walking and I’m sure the neighbours think I’m nuts as I wonder pass their houses, laughing my head off at one of the many stories that pepper the narrative. Obligatory listening for anyone who grew up listening to John Peel in the late seventies, eighties, nineties or noughties.

Wasted Opportunity

I found the episode with Una Baines and was looking forward to what I thought would be an interesting and insightful interview but it was ruined by the ‘interviewers’ constant interruptions, inane childish laughing, talking about themselves and random diversions that had nothing to do with Una or The Fall.

A podcast hosted by Beavis and Butthead would have been more enlightening

Im amazed how Una Baines showed such patience.

Lads, just grow up. I don’t want to hear about you or what you find funny, I want to hear the people you interview.
