Hot on the heels of helping DJ at the recent Liverpool bash commemorating what would have been John Peel’s 75th birthday, the wizards have only gone and put together a Peel flavoured pod for you to suck on.
were you one of the cool kids who made it?
John Peel may well have been the biggest influence on the musical tastes of all of us and without doubt was a major inspiration for us releasing these podcasts into the world. We all listened religiously not only to his late night shows on Radio 1, but also his half hour oasis of sanity on the World Service. In this podcast we finally shut the fuck up and play the songs that mean the most to us, the ones that John Peel introduced us to.
Happy birthday, John! Thanks for all the music.
