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.

Recorded in 2024, our first episode was designed to be the start of a weekly look at a guests life through the eyes of the music of the band R.E.M.
Our first guest is a long time friend of ours, Gareth Norman, a man who's beard is as great as his love for R.E.M.
We take a look into his life through music. From his Dad's record collection to his introduction to R.E.M. From his childhood to the present day, we'll discover what R.E.M. means to him and what his favourite albums and tracks are.
James and Gareth also face off in a lyrics game for the ages, who will be crowned the champion?
Take a listen and find out.
As a little cheeky bonus we've done an R.E.M. playlist on Spotify. 15 of our favourite tracks for you to enjoy.
