The unofficial Pet Shop Boys podcast - In our imperial phase we were the No.1 music podcast in five countries. Join Graham & Chris as they discuss everything from intros, coats and bridges.
Pinned
Graham and Chris go full‑throttle at Electric — the album that blasted PSB back into banging‑and‑lasers mode. An A–Z of influences, chaos, joy, x2 origins, listener memories and more. A celebration of Pet Shop Boys at their most liberated.

There’s no new In Depth today, so why not instead take a listen to our Christmas special from two years ago? Channeling the spirit of Christmas 1987 - and counting down PSB’s top 10 festive moments - it’s one of our favourites.

Merry Christmas! 🎄

To celebrate Attitude magazine’s 20th anniversary in 2014, Pet Shop Boys created an advert dressing the Electric sleeve in Pride colours - a nod to the publication where, in 1994, Neil first spoke openly about his sexuality.
