If any of our cobmunching listeners are at a loose end on Thursday, why not come and watch a pop concert featuring previous guests/friends of the show The Scutches and Shackleford?

Also, for one night only our very own FP (friendly punk) , Tom, will be sweating his way through Los Fatso Libres’ set on the drums. 🤙😛

Andy Cameron, the self proclaimed Tartan King has popped over the border this week for a chat with your two favourite obese podders.

Andy and his band Ex-Cathedra supported all the big hitters in the 90s, he laid down some dub with Su***de Bid in the Noughties and now, he's back with his new outfit Bullitz 23.

We talk about being in a hit film, having yourself recommended to you by someone famous, potentially inspiring one of Rancid's songs and all the best Scottish venues and punk bands.

Niall misuses the complaints procedure, Tom is excited for compering at Juddstock, we share yet another sneak peek at track from the upcoming Punk In Drublic tribute and Tom has a novel solution for over stimulation.

People say to me “Tom, why do you do the 84th most popular music podcast in Belgium (that one week)? Is it the intricate art of conversation? Is it the teasing out of the guests’ innermost thoughts? Is it the contribution you’re making to global music journalism?”

And I say to those people: No mate. It’s the free T-shirts. Massive thanks to Sprainer for the lovely gift. Their episode link is below if you’re a silly sod and not listened to it yet.

Music this week is from: Clowns, UltraBomb, Burnt Tapes, Doctor Bison, Pat Decline (off The Decline) and Block Parent.
