| Episode 4 - Bearing In Mind We Were Not Fun People | 18 Aug 2025 | 00:51:45 | |
In this edition of the Spray podcast, the band get a professional broadcaster in to help. Writer Ben Baker interrogates Ric and Jen using questions he's plundered from old Smash Hits interviews of the late 80s. In Spray's most in-depth grilling yet, they discuss the art of changing plugs, cross-dressing, giving Christopher Brookmyre a lift, their many crimes, being compared to the London Boys, and pondering just how narrow the parameters are allowed to be on 'Mastermind'. You'll hear about Matt Dillon and Barbara Dickson, the band will make plans for the weekend and everyone will try to work out just how many times Ricardo Autobahn has gone down the dumper. If you can guess which band was originally being asked the questions (for Smash Hits in the 80s) in the final segment please post your guesses, and you might win a prize.
