Terrific episode again with Michael & Jack great guests and nice to hear Colin Hay get a mention. I’m a big fan of Billy Joel but not this particular song. Thanks the shout out guys!
Episode 2 Season 2 is out! It's our pleasure to welcome Michael & Jack of the great Billy Joel podcast "Glass Houses" to discuss "We Didn't Start the Fire". Further great tunes by The Box, 10,000 Maniacs, CCCP and Curtis Mayfield. Here's the Spotify link

The best way of describing someone who’s all talk and no action that I’ve ever heard in the UK, by far, is “they’re all wardrobe and no Narnia.”

The Simpsons podcast I never knew I needed in my life. Ian and Michael left us all devastated by wrapping up their Blackadder podcast, so it's great to have them back yacking about a different show! ❤️
To kick things off, we revisit the first series, complete with its wonky animation, quaint storylines and Homer sounding like Walter Matthau on sedatives.

Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dänemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stürmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Räuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens über Geldübergabe." Hört auf, imperiale Aggression als normale Diplomatie zu framen.

Just watching the second season of Fargo and Mike Milligan is probably my favourite character.
I've also just realised where I've seen the actor,
Bokeem Woodbine, before: he played New Jersey gangster rapper Massive Genius in an episode of The Sopranos!

BY THE WAY, whilst they wouldn't get AR-15s, if you think there aren't thousands of men in the UK who'd sign up for uniformed house-to-house intimidation / immigrant bashing the moment the government permitted it, you're living in cloud cuckoo land.

Just seen that Jimmy Carr is playing the Lanxess Arena, a 20,000-seater venue here in Cologne.
I love Jimmy Carr but can't imagine that he's going to even half-fill a venue like that in Germany. Or two nights at the Uber Arena in Berlin!
I hope I'm wrong, though!
