Coming soon! Our latest Heritage Chart Show Show podcast, in which Mr Guilty Pleasures himself Sean Rowley joins siân pattenden & myself to 'deep' another episode of Mike Read's Heritage Chart Show. And if you've yet to watch Mike's show, here's a primer: medium.com/@petepaphides/…

In case you missed it! New podcast series with Pete Paphides and myself on the curious maze that is the Heritage Chart Show with Mike Read ... Listening links in bio....

This podcast is great - and I haven’t even seen The Heritage Chart Show yet.

It’s funny, it (correctly) treats pop music as both the most and least important thing in the world, and there’s nothing snide about it.

Until recently, I didn't know anyone else who was obsessed with Mike Read's Heritage Chart Show. But then I got talking to siân pattenden & now we're doing a podcast about it – with music by Mike Batt LVO & inaugural guest Lawrence! Full disclosure here!

The mighty John Niven HQ at Faversham Literary Festival yesterday!

This was super fun - although in retrospect it was decided that we should have *all* done the 2 Tone dance at the end. Thanks Daniel and Charlie for being brilliant.

And it's sold out, too!

Looking forward to chatting about Charlie's days in the Higsons and the political and social backdrop of 2 Tone. Chaired by siân pattenden
