The Full Circle: Linking Songs with Musicians & Friends

  • Music Interviews

The Full Circle is a music themed podcast with each song having a link to the previous song, and the last song linking back to the first song, hence completing The Full Circle. Links can be factual, personal and can also have one common theme, (nearly) anything goes! The show is hosted by DC, who is a massive music fan, with a huge interest in live music, festivals & discovering new artists, and also an NHS working doctor, specialising in Psychiatry. Episodes feature musicians, mates and my partner Abi linking songs together, with the occasional solo episode. As The Full Circle begins its second season, roughly every other week, DC will review some of his favourite albums over the years, and possibly some future releases too! The Full Circle will be DC's five favourite songs from that album. Unfortunately, copyright rules stop me from playing the songs on the show, but playlist of the songs are available on each episode description. In between The Full Circle and general chat, there are also fun features such as "Would You Rather", quizzes tailored to the guest and the solo shows also features the now legendary "Abid's Words of Wisdom".  As a Psychiatry Doctor, DC also invites guests to talk about their own Mental Health experiences if they wish, and encourage others to reach out, if they are experiencing their own mental health difficulties.  Follow the Full Circle page on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/fullcirclepodcastDC for exclusive content including live music giveaways, and the occasional Kazoo playing from time to time.

    The First Ever Full Circle Live On November 13th 2010!

    16 years ago, The Full Circle was born, on RareFM, the live student radio station at UCL, the university I went to. And whilst there were some similarities to the show now, there were a lot of differences too. I was incredibly nervous during the first show, but it was a blast and I wanted to share this for everyone to enjoy ha. My thoughts hearing back: My music taste at 19 was still pretty damn good then if I say so myself I sound quite a bit different these days The patented boom boom boom boom boom shoutout started from the very beginning which was nice to hear ha. Also "hence completing The Full Circle" which shocked me tbh. Catchphrase to end the show hadn't started yet!! I had no idea how to use a fader back then. Had an hour and spoke for 15 minutes only, with music playing the rest, a far cry of the later shows where it was probably the opposite. And most of the time I spoke on this episode was just how to get in contact and saying what time it is.  Playlist for the songs: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3a8qcxvS73GnY1GQnkwE3W I hope you enjoy it anyhow and I'll probably upload more episodes during my time on RareFM, I promise they're a little better!  Visit TheFullCircleDC.com for all things Full Circle related!

    Kaiser Chiefs Founder & Frontman Of Everyone Says Hi Nick Hodgson Is The Very Special Guest On The Full Circle! Oh My God I Can't Believe It

    Oh My God, I can't believe it! I have a Kaiser Chief on The Full Circle! Founder & drummer of said incredible band as well as frontman for the amazing Everyone Says Hi is the very special guest on The Full Circle! We had a great chat reminiscing about Kaiser Chiefs, including who rated one of their albums 3 out of 10 and why that was so influential for their path after that, the festival which led to one of the band's greatest moments, even if a bit unconventional, and we speak about Everyone Says Hi, their new album Funny Cos It's True due for release on 9th October 2026 and which songs he cannot wait for people to hear. Nick also answers some tough Would You Rather questions, shares a great fun fact never heard before elsewhere and he plays a lyrics quiz where he had to guess which songs were Everyone Says Hi, but the twist is that one of the odd ones out was a song he had written before! And, of course, Nick creates his Full Circle, choosing songs with important meanings related to his childhood in particular! Playlist for the songs: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4EVPl27Xq9BhSBRg80HeYl Everyone Says Hi are doing some album release shows in October!

    Is Arctic Monkey's Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not The Best Debut Album By A British Rock Band Of All Time?! The Full Circle Album Review

    When Arctic Monkeys were first on the scene, everyone knew they were something special. Their first album, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, is an incredible album, and I can't believe it's 20 years old now! So enjoyable to hear it back again and bring back so many memories. Even though there's one or two songs on there that I'm not fussed about, I explain why it ranks so highly for me, giving a general overview and then going track by track, at the end creating my Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not Full Circle i.e. my 5 favourite songs from the album. Playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1PEP5GhbGuY8DCUMyzYbVD Let me know what your favourite songs are from the album! Thank you for checking out the show, and for the support as always!

    Wheatus Bassist & Host of Weird Al-gorithm Podcast Matthew Milligan Is The Very Special Guest On The Full Circle!

    An absolute honour to have Wheatus bassist Matthew Milligan on The Full Circle! He speaks about his time with Wheatus, being called a "one-hit wonder" band, answering the most pressing Would You Rather questions such as whether he'd rather his bass made a fart noise or he tripped over for every wrong note Matthew plays live, why he loves talking about Weird Al so much and he plays a tough quiz called "Which Wheatus Said This?" where he had to guess which Wheatus member said a particular quote! Matthew's Full Circle was epic! A lot of the songs were based bassists that have been influential to him, ranging from Blink-182 to Primus!  Playlist for the songs: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/72wN7agFvhMNHKwl0ybX9n Head over to https://wheatus.com/shows to get tickets for upcoming shows; they are epic live, and Matthew explains on the show why two shows are never the same!

    Sleep Token's Take Me Back To Eden Is Their Magnum Opus! The Full Circle Album Review

    Sleep Token's Take Me Back To Eden is a special album and catapulted them into new heights including headlining Download Festival & selling out the o2 Arena 2 nights in the same week. Since then they have had top 10 singles and topped the album charts, but without Take Me Back To Eden, this would likely never have happened. I give a summary of the album along with a track-by-track. I also share my controversial early opinion of them as well as sharing which track was the catalyst for them to get to where they are today. I also create the Take Me Back To Eden Full Circle, revealing my 5 favourite songs in album order, one of those they have never performed live! Hopefully one day Playlist for the songs here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6j3NWyxLLm4Gq0BsBesf5Q Do you agree with my top 5?  Thank you for checking out the episode and the support as always!

    The Full Circle Rewind: Frank Turner Creates His Full Circle!

    One year ago, I had Frank Turner on The Full Circle. He was the first musician to come on the show and if it wasn't for him, I would not have been able to speak to so many more incredible musicians since. I wanted to celebrate this by re-releasing the episode with a new spoken intro by myself before the conversation with Frank!   We spoke about: - How touring went in 2025 and speaking about the returning Million Dead prior to completing their now confirmed final UK tour in December 2025!  - He answered some tough Would You Rather questions, including if he'd played the same venue forever with a different setlist every time, or different venues forever with the same setlist every time! - He also played Which Frank said this? A game where he had to figure out if he, Frank Turner, said a particular quote in a previous interview or if it was his friend, fellow musician, and current touring singer for Sex Pistols (and also someone others have confused him with), Frank Carter! - And of course, Frank makes his Full Circle, ranging from Million Dead to Descendents!  Link to the songs are here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2iYkuvFNfqc9yKg647ysv7 All this and so much more on this week's episode!
