Music. It makes the world go round, it's imbedded in our lives.


Whether your taste was shaped from your parent’s record collection, friend’s mixtapes, or the latest hits from the radio, these artists form important memories, they make you sing, laugh, cry and dance.


Talking About… podcast was formed from an idea by two lifelong friends, James Gentle & Phil Reynolds' love of the band REM and along with fellow friend Gareth Norman has evolved in to a regular look in to all music both old and new.


Each episode will take a deep-ish yet light hearted dive into the history of a different band or artist. We'll discuss our take on their footprint in history whilst discussing how they've played a part in our lives...or not.


There’s lots of lists, laughs, guests and games! We even throw in a Spotify playlist for you to listen to our favourite tracks from each episode.

  • Talking About...TV On The Radio
    Jun 17 2026

    Since forming in 2001, TV On The Radio have been pushing the boundaries of music.

    Original members Dave Sitek and Tunde Adebimpe were inspired by Radiohead and released their first demo album, Ok Calculator, in 2002. Two years later and with the addition of Kyp Malone, TVOTR released the critically acclaimed Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes, an album so full of creativity, experiment and raw emotion that it was hard not to ignore.

    The band have released 5 studio albums to date and in this episode we’re taking a look at all of them and the new york scene of the noughties. Gareth and James test their knowledge in the AI v Artist lyric game and as ever we have a 15 track playlist of our favourite TVOTR cuts!

    This episode was recorded in January 2026.

    Enjoy. ✌️

    Yes! EP.9 has dropped!

    We're celebrating one of the most energetic, insane and criminally underrated bands of the 00's. The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster!

    They mixed punk and psychobilly with a heavy dose of Buddhism and LSD to create one of the most exciting sounds of the 00s!

    As well as chat on the band and their albums we talk beer, Buddhism, green bees, all the goths, bad 80's sitcoms, Top of The Pops, Edgar Wright, Phil completely screws up and of course there's another epic battle in the AI V Artist lyric game!

    We've also got our awesome 15 track playlist of our favourite cuts from TEMBD!

    Hope you enjoy!

    Amy Winehouse was an outstanding talent. From her breakthrough album Frank to her world conquering second album Back to Black, she made music her way, crafting modern visceral lyrics with the classic sounds of Jazz, Soul and RnB.

V Artist lyrics game and we've got our regular 15 track playlist of our favourite cuts from her two studio albums.
