Summer Special Three. No point crying over records. Our verdicts are in.
Episode 18
vendredi 23 août 2024 • Duration 32:18
For this week’s episode of the Plural Pod, Gareth and Joel continue their holiday specials. With all due respect to both The Beatles and The Chuckle Brothers, this one is entitled ‘From Me To You’. Gareth picked an album for Joel to hear for the first time and Joel returned the favour for Gareth. If you’d like to listen first so that you know what is being talked about, it’s Tracey Thorn’s ‘Record’ and Jellyfish’s ‘Spilt Milk’. They each explain their reasons for nominating their respective album before hearing what those initial listens were like. Expect opinions. Lots of them.
