Is it out there, or do you have to subscribe to Patreon or similar?

Patreon is a mess, but I think the free ones are collected
here: https://www.patreon.com/collection/9317 ... =condensed (Filter down to the public episodes)

Not! Easy! Listening!

Thanks for this. Any recall on which one he speaks of Djuna Barnes?

Not offhand, she comes up from time to time but there was one episode when he went in depth on Nightwood, will see if I can find it… the episode descriptions are kind of all over the place.

Much appreciated thank you. I'd pay to hear that. Too few people discuss her, IMO. Nightwood is my very favorite book.

Sticking to podcasts about books, I forgot about Spinecrackers, which does have an episode about Nightwood.

For sure - apparently particular Patreon episodes can’t be directly linked unless the creator sends a link, so couldn’t link to an individual episode, it would just share my whole subscriber feed. I msg’d that guy asking for a link to that one in particular, will see if he responds.

Aftermath: Hunt for the Anthrax Killer.

Joe Boyd has a wonderful podcast (now defunct) that is a sort of A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs by someone who was actually there (for some of it), and condensed into 11-minute episodes. He’s basically just going through his crazy ass record collection and telling stories and I love it.

This is the producer behind early Pink Floyd singles, Fairport Convention, Nick Drake, etc. His books are also great.

It’s called Joe Boyd’s A-Z and is easy to find.

burned through Fela Kuti: Fear No Man in a week, throughly enjoyed it

Death is just around the corner
Echo’s bones

Heroin playlist dropped, based on the last (not public) episode. It’s quite good and arranged nicely, probably better than looking at the song titles would suggest as there is some deep stuff I haven’t heard alongside a lot of the old stalwarts:

Like a decent Verlaine interview, this guy is especially good at pointing out the fusion stuff that you actually need to listen to. It sits nicely among the Can, Cale, early Dr John stuff we’re all familiar with.

It’s showing under public posts, but I’m not sure how it might look if you don’t have a patreon acct, but it’s here anyways.

Found a really great music-related podcast (Unsung Podcast) and love pretty much everything about it, except the hosts have Glaswegian accents I can only understand roughly 50% of the time. I'm a native English speaker and, aside from bits of Cockney, I can't think of any other English accent that's given me this much trouble. I had to rewind three times to realize "feddet beg uh tray" was "far-Right bigotry."

No mark against them; the problem is clearly me and my dumbass American ears. They do at least have a youtube channel where you can turn on subtitles.
