  • NICHOLAS BLINCOE - All Hail the New Puritan

    NICHOLAS BLINCOE - All Hail the New Puritan
    Jan 30 2026
    This week on Oh! Brother, we were delighted to welcome author, screenwriter and critic Nicholas Blincoe to the show. Nicholas talks us through discovering The Fall via Dragnet as a teenager in Rochdale, his early days in post-punk bands, and how a Factory Records hip-hop project with Greg Keeffe from Big Flame briefly put him on the other side of the microphone. We also chat about his novels shaped by Manchester's music and queer scenes, his years living between London and Palestine, co-founding the New Puritans literary movement, and his new book Oliver Twist and Me — which uncovers his family's surprising connection to Dickens. Hope you enjoy!

    ADRIAN SHERWOOD - Two Semitones and a Raver
    Jan 16 2026

    This week on Oh! Brother, we were delighted to welcome producer and On‑U Sound founder Adrian Sherwood to the show. Adrian talks us through first meeting Mark E. Smith in Rough Trade, working with The Fall on Slates and later Extricate, and the studio tricks (and “anti‑production” ethos) that shaped those records. We also chat Prince Far I, John Peel, Tackhead and Lee “Scratch” Perry and hear about his recent move from behind the desk to performing live. Hope you enjoy!

If you are a fan of the band The Fall or you like listening to alternative music related banter this is great listening. Steve & Paul Hanley have some great guests including many ex Fall band members. I really look forward to listening, this podcast now on its 3 series. I spoke to Mr Lister on his views of the podcast, he said "respect is due"

Fall Advance!
