Talking About...
Music. It makes the world go round, it's imbedded in our lives.
Whether your taste was shaped from your parent’s record collection, friend’s mixtapes, or the latest hits from the radio, these artists form important memories, they make you sing, laugh, cry and dance.
Talking About… podcast was formed from an idea by two lifelong friends, James Gentle & Phil Reynolds' love of the band REM and along with fellow friend Gareth Norman has evolved in to a regular look in to all music both old and new.
Each episode will take a deep-ish yet light hearted dive into the history of a different band or artist. We'll discuss our take on their footprint in history whilst discussing how they've played a part in our lives...or not.
There’s lots of lists, laughs, guests and games! We even throw in a Spotify playlist for you to listen to our favourite tracks from each episode.
