Catching Up on Podcasts #3.

Best Gen X reference - Pank and Touche Turtle. "Touche away!!" I laughed way too much.
Best line - Dave on Roger Taylor. "When did he join Duran Duran?" I again laughed too much.

Another sterling episode. Some great songs and bands referenced again.

🎶 Freedom fighters, come and go, Bloody righteous, and mentally slow 🎶

Love this song and the album it comes from. Top tier Roger Taylor and top tier episode lads, with some cracking songs.

It's a topic that he knows bloomin well... As we found out. It'll be a fascinating listen.

I’ve got a podcast! When I watched the nuclear war film Threads at the age of 11 it terrified me and changed my life forever.

I started the pod to speak to other people whose lives have been changed by Threads, from cast and crew members, to extras, broadcasters, authors and super fans. Out now!
