October 2, 2026 · 1 h 48 min

Show notes

Roll up, roll up, the audio circus is back in town.


Adam leads the Top 5 charge this week as he details the hidden gems and eyebrow-raising engagements that have taken his musical fancy in recent times.


Having failed the assignment, Dave focuses instead on delivering a bustling news section.


Don't miss out on the latest bonus content on Patreon, by the way - there's a new Film Club in the wild, while Dave's '31 horror movies to watch in October' two-hour special will be with you imminently, followed shortly by Adam's extensive sit-down with producer Rocky O'Reilly.


As for this week's main attraction...


ACT ONE: The preamble in which Dave reports back from Overhead, The Albatross.


ACT TWO (11:14): Macklemore unveils the Free Palestine tour, U2 turn 50 years young and everyone loses the run of themselves, Taylor Swift drops a divisive deluxe edition, and Slipknot announce a polarising tour - it's the news.


ACT THREE (1:03:08): Top 5 Unexpected Surprises.
