The Giddy Carousel of Pop
Welcome aboard The Giddy Carousel of Pop! We are a Smash Hits appreciation podcast dedicated to the swingorilliant British pop magazine which ran from 1978 to 2006. In each episode, we take an old issue of Ver Hits (usually from the 1980s but may slip a year or two either side of that) and discuss what’s on its pages, looking at who’s riding high on the carousel and who’s heading down the dumper. We always have a guest to help us along the way, so we’ll be talking to the readers, the writers, and who knows, maybe even the odd pop star who appeared in its pages. Hang on tight! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Just caught up with the Simon Price episode - such a tremendous nostalgic and entertaining flight back in time to 1979. Looking forward to catching with more episodes!

I’ve only just started listening to these podcasts so I’ve went back to the 1st one and working my way through them. Smash Hits was my music bible for about 5 years after buying the issue with The Funboy 3 on the cover from I think October ‘81. I love the way you guys have set this up where you can read the mag as you are listening to the podcast and the Spotify and video playlists are great as well. Cheers
