As we finish our countdown for season 1 there could only be song at 101 (even if it has 99 it). @davenuclear.bsky.social and @pankp007.bsky.social were honoured to meet Nena at her Shepherd's Bush Empire show a few weeks ago. She recorded us a fab message and couldn't have been kinder.

We were honoured to meet the wonderful Trevor Horn this evening at the Apex Theatre. He spoke about his life the magnificent music that soundtracked the 80sz and answered @pankp007.bsky.social question at length about the brilliant Annihilation Mix by Frankie. Just a joyous evening.

We are really sad to say goodbye to Dave Ball of Soft Cell. What a duo, what a band. Such edgy and frequently perfect songs... Rest in peace, sir.

With profound thanks to you all. You've been a joyous part of our humble journey. We thought some family and friends might tune in, but we made a whole nuclear family on the way. 5000 listens. Please stay with us. More to come. Lots of love from @pankp007.bsky.social and @davenuclear.bsky.social

No new episode from us today, but why not catch up on some old ones? So many fab guests... @allthatchas.bsky.social was on our last one to discuss his #Threads obsession. We also talk #Eurythmics with this gorgeous collab with Elvis Costello "Adrian".

On holiday in #Sardinia. The most spectacular thunderstorm hit us last night. I didn't take this as a shot but cut it as a still from a short video. No filter or special effect added. The sky went Bang!

My holiday reading has been this. Every page has an "oh really?" moment. Little moments in songs we thought we knew inside out are beautifully revealed. #TrevorHorn has produced another gem here.

It was great fun recording with the boys from @scarredforlife.bsky.social. Here we see Dave and Ste drily reflecting on Pank and Dave's lack of books or DVDs...

So, @davenuclear.bsky.social has found this brewery while away for the weekend. Trying to convince us that he's doing pod stuff. But if it delays our @scarredforlife.bsky.social Episode (13, appropriately enough), then @pankp007.bsky.social will explode.
