Episode 74 – The Bends

Mar 23 2025 119 mins  
Thirty years ago Radiohead, desperate and anxious to shed their one-hit wonder label, dropped their second album, the Bends. What is its legacy? What creative seeds were planted? Just how drunk was Thom when they recorded Planet Telex? We explore these questions and more as we delve into what makes the Bends so unique and what people were saying then and now about their sophomore r

Episode 73 – Attenzione!

Dec 24 2024 126 mins  
It’s the holiday season and we have a special gift from a mysterious internet elf: OK Outtakes, a collection of even more unheard songs and snippets from the OK Computer recording sessions. There are brand new songs, curious versions of old favorites, plus the boys having a laugh! As always, we dig through the newspile and discuss an extortionately priced edition of Colin’s pho

Episode 72 – Back in the Game

Dec 15 2024 121 mins  
Thom has finished his solo jaunt across Oceania and Eastern Asia and naturally, we have tons to talk about. Which songs stood out and which old songs did he breathe new life into?

W.A.S.T.E. got their act together and finally sent us Colin’s fantastic photography book, How to Disappear: A Portrait of Radiohead. Join us as we journey through Radiohead’s history via Colin’s photos and essays, from their meager beginnings in Oxfordshire to the grandiosity of playing the Smoothie King arena and so many great tidbits about what it means to be in the greates

Episode 70 – Horror Vacui

Oct 27 2024 128 mins  
’Tis the season, spooky season that is! We were very fortunate to attend a screening of the silent horror classic Nosferatu devilishly synced with the two most chilling Radiohead albums, Kid A and Amnesiac. What horrors do the albums unleash when paired with the ungodly sights of Count Orlok himself? Which songs pair the best with the vampiric frights and which left us perplexed?

Episode 69 – Instant Psalm

Oct 13 2024 119 mins  
It’s here, the Smile’s third record (and second of this year), Cutouts! We digest every song and reveal our initial thoughts. Which songs are our favorites and what surprised us the most? Is this the Smile’s swan song or do they have more up their sleeves? Also, we chat about our excursion to a hole-in-the-wall electronics repair shop where we listened to part of the album on

Episode 68 – Zero Sum

Surprise surprise, The Smile just announced they are releasing ANOTHER album! We chat about the puzzling tracklist reveal, the new singles, and the tech-heavy music videos. Also, we continue our conversation from the last episode and work through our mixed emotions regarding this release. As always, the newspile is filled to the brim with stories about Thom’s upcoming mysterious

Episode 67 – WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT JONNY

Jun 09 2024 75 mins  
There has rightly been lots of fervor online about Jonny recently playing two shows in Tel Aviv so we knew we had to dedicate a whole episode to it. We discuss Jonny’s official, muddled response, and Thom’s bonkers statement from 2017. We also delve into Jonny and Radiohead’s history with Israel. What happens when members of a band who have been overtly political throughout t

Episode 66 – Knife Edge

May 05 2024 104 mins  
Thom just released his fantastic score for the Italian film Confidenza and we dive into the earthy and sometimes spooky songs! We discuss how different and at times similar it is to Thom’s first film score Suspiria and what the music possibly reveals about the film’s mysterious plot. Also, the newspile is filled with all sorts of goodies including Ed inviting Phil to play on hi

Episode 65 – Don’t Get Me Started

Mar 31 2024 110 mins  
The Smile just finished the first leg of their European tour and as always there is plenty to talk about. Rocking new songs, Thom getting cranky with chatty crowds, and a fantastic one-off performance with the London Contemporary Orchestra. Also, we discuss the Smile’s eclectic playlists for BBC Radio 6 Music, an interesting interview with Noah Yorke’s “industrial” music du
