It’s been a while [some say not long enough – TTW Ed.], but the wizards finally get round to reconvening and have put together ‘the best pod yet’. Possibly.
If you are one of those listeners who particularly enjoys the nonsense skits, silly voices, weak puns and crowbarred in quizzes [are there any? – TTW Ed.], then this is the show for you. On the other hand, if you are all about the music, then you’ll be pleased to learn that there’s a great dollop of that in here somewhere too. Honest.
So strap in and prepare to learn more than you ever felt necessary about biscuits, food additives and Nick Cave ticket stubs. Then thrill to the sounds as the wizards take you on a musical journey that stops off at some of the less frequented stations.
