In 2011 Martin Johnston and Huw Williams began doing a radio show called Take Off Your Sunglasses. It quickly became the most popular alternative music show on a Tuesday night, at 9pm, in Stockport, in the UK. Playing great music that no one else is playing is all very well. But the poor anecdotes, lazy jokes and poorly thought-out features needed a home of their own. This podcast is just those same two chumps talking about books, TV shows, films and records. Culture for people who've been hit by a train, essentially.

    We go for another 5-a-side edition on FBTSOOP this week - i.e. we each discuss one thing we've enjoyed, one we've not enjoyed, one disappointment, one thing we've learnt and one thing we are looking forward to.

    The rambling includes Rich Tea sandwiches, Milk Roll, the paucity of decent beer adverts, the stars of Fist of Fun, Pot Noodle merchandise, the Vietnam War, The Room, The Deuce and fake plastic Halloween weapons.
