Have just listened to your last episode and brilliant as always. Loved season one and look forward to the next season. Brilliant songs been picked and what a song to finish it with.

This is a great question by Ash and has me thinking. I'm sure our listeners will have some thoughts. @denisery.bsky.social rightly cites Power of Love by FGTH, albeit the video went all nativity. Same with Stay Now.
What is the 'Die Hard is a Christmas film' of songs played around Christmas or considered Christmas hits?

The Hives at Alexandra Palace. Intense power... What a live band they are.

As we finish our countdown for season 1 there could only be song at 101 (even if it has 99 it). @davenuclear.bsky.social and @pankp007.bsky.social were honoured to meet Nena at her Shepherd's Bush Empire show a few weeks ago. She recorded us a fab message and couldn't have been kinder.

Another fine episode... And what news they break!
This episode's Scene Stealer is Miranda Richardson as the wetter-than-a-haddock’s-costume Amy Hardwood, a mysterious Northern beauty with a dark secret and an even darker hatred of squirrels.

Looking at the footage and filming of this video is always so difficult... And yet in this moment, he still has the mischief and smirk. And always full of love. #Freddie @oiqfc.bsky.social

Jimmy Cliff and Dharmendra... Two icons of Jamaica and India. 81 and 89. Both gone today. 2 more heroes depart on 24th November.

It's fascinating. Sean Judge is seriously worth listening to.
The new episode of the Threads pod is out!

This time we hear from Sean Judge who started the Facebook group Threads Survivors.

When he he first watched the film he had months of sleepless nights and threw his VHS copy in the bin. He talks about how Threads inspired him to work with death.
