    Episode 9: Is a Dream A Lie, If It Don't Come True?

    We're back on brand, back in Springsteen Country, and with very special guest Neil McRobert (author, journalist, reviewer, and host of the mighty Talking Scared podcast) in tow, it's finally time to dive into The River. Breaking this behemoth album into two shows, tonight we talk Disk One, as well as our histories with the record, general remarks about the album as a whole, and Neil's Grand Unifying Spreinsteen Theory. Expect discussions of parental loss and elemental relationship fears alongside some entertaining differences of opinions, and discussion of whether or not this album contains the platoic ideal for the mother-in-law joke. Enjoy! Part 2 to follow shortly :)

    Episode 7: Never Mind The Springsteen

    In their first non-Springsteen epsiode, James and Kit take a diversion to the miserable hellscape of 1977's UK, and the sonic dirty bomb that is Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols. Expect exuberance, love, a deep dive into the nature and power and limitations of offensive art, and more swearing than normal, as befits the source material. Enjoy. Normal service will be resumed in our next episode, taking on 1980's double album behemoth, The River (which will feature a Very Special Guest).

    Episode 6: Just A Little Bit Longer

    This time out, James and Kit travel back in time to 1979 to place some ill-advised political wagers and, more importantly, check out Bruce Sprengteen (and the E-Street Band) taking some time out from the recording of The River to rock the hell out of Madison Square Gardens. It's a wild and raukous affair, as The Boss shares his 30th birthday party with an adoring crowd, and The Boss reminds us all why he is, well, The Boss. It's a first-time visit for James and I, and the love and astonsihment is very, very real. Enjoy.

    Episode 5 - Wanting The Things That Can Only Be Found...

    In which James and Kit are joined by drummer (in Kit's new band, no less), friend of the show and lifelong Bruce fan John Busvine, to discuss The Boss's seminal 1978 studio album Darkness On The Edge Of Town. For John, it's a conversation over 30 years in the making, and it's a privilege to get his perspective on an album that's formed part of the soundtrack of his life. Enjoy :)

    4 - London Is Finally Ready

    In the first time-travel episode, Kit and James find themsleves in London, England, in the winter of 1975, just in time to order a round of drinks at hte pricy Hammersmith Apollo bar before catching The E-Street band on their first european tour. Expect grunts of appricaiton, the occasional long silence of deep appeciatation, and the boys digging deep inot the superlative barrel to bring you a commentary track across time. Enjoy :)

    Episode 2: Wild and Innocent

    We Learned More From A Three Minute Record returns for our second episode proper, tackling Springsteen's sophomore album The Wild The Innocent and the E-Street Shuffle. Very special guest Andrew Matey brings in sight and passion, and Kit and James reflect on the joys of exploring a work you don't know very well from an artist you admire. Learn which fan favourite/classic will get each podcast member kicked out of The Boss Club for not liking, who Andrew considers to be the secret weapon of the first two records, and whether or not Kit will remember which numbered street is under discussion this time. Enjoy. We did :)
