Bang! 101 (More) Songs About Nuclear War from the 1980s

Doubtless it will find its own way here....

In-flight listening!

New episode: Threads, Thatcher & Sheffield!

I speak with Catherine Taylor, who was an extra in Threads.

We chat about the film’s legacy and why it’s a metaphor for Thatcher’s attack on northern cities.

Look what my super podcast hero colleague Dave got me for my birthday....
Thanks @davenuclear.bsky.social

"Another Piranha In The Tank"

Lots of listener messages on our latest episode, one of which leads us to perform a deep dive on Gil Gunderson, a minor character who appears regularly as of Season 9 and whose defeated outlook on life makes Hans Moleman look like a member of Hurrah For Everything.

@dotdashdc.bsky.social checking out Madman in the Rain. Excellent!

Nothing silly at all. Hope some deep breathing and/or music or a walk or whatever makes you happy lifts it somewhat. And thanks for saying it.

That's rather good.

You're v kind sir

Vicky's first contribution to @allthatchas.bsky.social excellent pod was fab. This, no doubt, will follow.

New episode – it’s Threads in six scenes with Dr Vicky McMahon!

You asked for her to come back and here she is! Dr Vicky McMahon and me choose three Threads scenes each and dive nice and deeply into them. Will your favourite scene be included?

@bangpodcast.bsky.social @scarredforlife.bsky.social

It’s been a terrific ride! Keep it going, gents!

Thank you all.

It was exactly 12 months ago today that we launched Season 1 Episode 1 of our humble pod... Welcome to the Red Skies. Featuring The Fixx, OMD, Alphaville, Hot Chocolate and Ultravox. 10,000 listens later, we have created a nuclear family and made some wonderful friends and a tea towel.
Thank you.

What a fantastic episode from the lads at Bang!
Maybe it’s the scientist in me but I loved the interview with Andy Oppenheimer and loved how the science and music all goes into the melting pot and we get a fascinating interview.

Morning all... Not only was this one of Freddie's favourite (and influential) albums, but it was produced by Arif Mardin too...

Wow. What a pic sleeve. I haven't seen this.

How nice to see.... Best wishes to you both

I don't know this album but the font makes me want to go straight to it.

Absolumment. Believe the hype.

A fine review. I find it difficult to listen to now knowing the pain he was in.

This is, without a shadow of a doubt, THE best interview I’ve heard on any podcast ever. Completely fascinating. Not only an endlessly amazing interviewee, but well led by our intrepid duo of interviewers.
On top of that, another great episode.

Another Hall of Fame episode Pank & Dave. Brilliant.

Oh my goodness. Wow. Thank you... Thank you...

Yeah, me too. The intro is irresistible. Thanks Jeff. Shout-outs in a fortnight for sure.
