Galaxy Crashers: The Busted and McFly Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Class is in session! In this episode of Galaxy Crashers: The Busted and McFly Podcast, we’re rewinding to the iconic Busted anthem “What I Go to School For.”

We chat about how this cheeky track defined a generation of pop-rock mischief, dive into the story behind it (the real life Miss Makenzie), and share our own hilarious (and slightly embarrassing) school memories — from questionable haircuts to unforgettable teacher crushes.

This week we are delighted to have special guest Steve Thomas joining us for Tour Talk - sharing his favourite moments and members!

It’s all about the chaos, charm, and catchy hooks that made Busted legends of the early 2000s. So grab your blazer, scribble your band logo on your notebook, and join us for another dose of pure nostalgic fun!

Welcome to Galaxy Crashers: The Busted and McFly Podcast — where nostalgia, pop-punk energy, and early-2000s chaos collide! Whether you're a Galaxy Defender or a Wedding Crasher - this podcasts brings the two worlds together!

In our very first episode, we’re diving headfirst into the song that started it all: “Five Colours in Her Hair.” We chat about how this track launched McFly into the spotlight, relive the unforgettable moments from their current tour with Busted, and share our own stories and memories from the 00's!

Expect laughter, nostalgia and plenty of fangirling as we celebrate the music, mayhem, and magic that makes McFly and Busted so iconic.

Hit play, grab your hair gel and eyeliner - we'll meet you there Galaxy Crashers!

PS - Forgive us for any audio mistakes for the first 2 episodes - we are really working hard to get to grip of all the tech - but we are two thirty something mums with none of the gear and no idea!

It’s time for another trip through the galaxy of pop-rock nostalgia! In this episode of Galaxy Crashers: The Busted and McFly Podcast, we’re diving into one of McFly’s most beloved hits — “Obviously.”

We uncover the real inspiration behind the song, cringe (and laugh) our way through some delightfully dodgy music video moments, and play a hilarious round of “McFly Says”, where Shannon tries to match each band member to their funniest quotes.

Expect laughs, a healthy dose of fangirling, and plenty of love for one of McFly’s most iconic tracks. Hit play and join the chaos — it’s obviously going to be a good one!

Get ready for a throwback that’s guaranteed to get stuck in your head! In this episode of Galaxy Crashers: The Busted and McFly Podcast, we’re diving into the unforgettable Busted hit “You Said No.”

We chat about the story behind the song, relive the awkward magic of school discos, and introduce our brand-new segment “We Are Family”, where we shine a spotlight on the brilliant Carrie Hope Fletcher. Plus, things get competitive in our Smash Hits Quiz, as we try to match ridiculous headlines to the right band!

It’s a mix of nostalgia, laughs, and pure 2000s chaos — so grab your teen magazines and join the fun!

This week’s episode is for the MUSH lovers of the universe. We’re diving headfirst into “That Girl” by McFly, and yes—this is a full-blown Danny Jones appreciation episode. From iconic Danny moments to the chokehold the video still has on us, nothing is off limits.

And because the universe clearly loves us, we’re joined by our ultimate special guest: MUSH LOVER 🖤✨ Together we spiral into:

• Unhinged tour memories

• Peak fangirling behaviour - we're talking FITTIES

• The mystery of the sweaty towel

• And why those cringey-but-perfect early 2000s music videos shaped our personalities forever

It’s chaotic, nostalgic, deeply unserious, and somehow still emotional. If you ever screamed over McFly, replayed a music video until your laptop nearly combusted, or fell in love with a fringe and a guitar—this episode is for you.

🎧 Plug in, cry a little, and fangirl a lot.

In this episode of Galaxy Crashers, we dive head-first into Busted’s iconic track Britney and unpack all the gloriously obvious nods to the one and only Britney Spears. From cheeky lyrical references to early-2000s pop culture chaos, we explore why this song is basically a love letter wrapped in denim, lip gloss, and teen-mag nostalgia.

We break down Busted's not-so-subtle hints to their obession with Miss Spears, revisit the golden era of ’NSYNC songs, and relive one of the most talked-about pop culture moments of the early noughties: the Madonna and Britney kiss at the 2003 VMAs. Expect laughs, deep dives, questionable memories, and lots of early-2000s glitter.

Tune in and crash the cosmos of pop nostalgia with us once again!

In this week's episode of Galaxy Crashers, we dive into McFly's “Room on the 3rd Floor” and immediately get distracted by our own tales of Airbnbs so dodgy they should come with a tetanus shot. We then attempt to make sense of the gloriously strange music video, which feels like it was filmed during a collective existential crisis.

And of course the WE ARE FAMILY segement is back, where we chat about Chris Bourne, James’s rock-star little brother, who stepped in on tour and somehow managed to look both effortlessly cool and part of the band despite stepping in last minute! It’s chaotic, nostalgic, and just unhinged enough to be on brand for us! Enjoy!

In this week’s episode, we dive deep into Busted’s “Losing You”—a track that hits a little harder and carries a whole lot of heart. We explore its themes of love, loss, and the messy, beautiful emotions that come with both.

As always, we bring back our This or That segment and we also read your stories connected to this song—some heart-felt, some heartbreaking, all incredibly honest.

And of course, we wrap things up with McFly in the Wild, catching you up on what the boys have been up to this week outside of the band. Spoiler: we've got two this week as theres been so much going on!

Tune in, get cozy, and let’s talk music, memories, and everything in between.

This week, we’re diving headfirst into playing tour manager for the day and reveal what we would’ve chosen for the VS Tour setlists (because obviously we have thoughts). There’s a little detour into the world of musical theatre too, sparked by the exciting news of Matt Willis’ Cabaret announcement.

And, as always, we round things off with a quick peek into motherhood this week, courtesy of Georgia Jones — honest, relatable, and very on-brand for us.

Finally, we discuss 'Hypnotised' and we have two VERY contrasting opinions this week (spoiler alert, Shan might disown Tay for her rating),

Pop your headphones on… you might just find yourself hypnotised!
