Audrey Golden has written one of the first great music books of the year, a new tome, on the always interesting White Rabbit Books, called I Thought I Heard You Speak: Women at Factory Records.

Available to buy now, it shines a light into the crevices of the legendary indie label and reveals new stories and new perspectives concerning the women who played significant roles in making the Manchester based operation function. Audrey was an unbelievably fun guest, and while I can’t share the after-hours contents with you, our conversation went on for a good 45 minutes after we’d stopped recording. What I can share with you is the mini-breakdown I had at the end of the episode. 

Hey, it was a late one. Ps. I'm fine now.
