Jake Farrell from The Screen Rot Podcast - SPECIAL LIVE EPISODE from West Hampstead Arts Club - Mystery Jets, 21
Jake's second appearance on the podcast was something very special. 40 episodes in and by a country mile, that was the best one yet. Never one to be held back by the line of questioning, Jake and I touched on a wide range of subjects as varied as teenage money laundering, bringing back Mephedrone and "The Indie Rip."We even mentioned his choice of album a little bit, the glorious 2008 masterpiece by Mystery Jets, 21.Hugest of shouts to everyone that came out to the stunning venue of West Hampstead Arts Club last night. I can't tell you how much I appreciate everyone spending hard earned money and getting out of the house to support the culture. We go again, pencil 12th of December into the diary for the next "THIS Album..." live show.If you've not listened to Jake's podcast, Screen Rot yet, then sort your fucking life out and get involved.

Episode 39 - DJ Jimmy The Gent - Chase & Status, More Than Alot
There's no doubt about it, cut me and I bleed indie, but for episode 39 we’re delving into a new genre for the podcast….This show has allowed me to display my expertise and knowledge in all things 00's and skinny jeaned. But what was William Hann up to before he discovered The Libertines you may wonder....?Well I was either shacking out to DJ Hype and Brockie mixtapes on a casette walkman or double dropping Dillinja tunes with Total Science bangers on my brother's Technics 1210's. Yes, I was a proper Junglist and on todays episode I get to prove my D n' B credentials with a man that has been setting dancefloors alight since 2008, from the Depressed CEO Podcast it's Jimmy The Gent!Jimmy was a dream of a guest and I had so much fun inviting this total stranger to my hotel room to deep dive his emotional attachment to the debut album from Drum n' Bass pioneers Chase & Status. (what a sentence)We also discuss edibles in hotel mini bars, singing at record store staff to find a song and DJing to Gen Zers.

Episode 38 - Tom McGreevy from Ducks Ltd - Orange Juice, You Can't Hide Your Love Forever
This weeks episode see's me joined by the frontman of a Canadian band in the thick of a European tour. It's Tom McGreevy from Ducks Ltd!We have a lot of fun and a lot of laughs in this episode, but it's also the most anxious a guest has made me feel by a LONG way. Tom share's a truly incredible story about his band's first time playing a KEXP session....... honest to god, I'll be carrying the second stress of that experience for a long time to come!Tom's album of choice was an absolute joy to discuss. Orange Juice's 1982 debut was the blue print for so many of my favourite bands like The Maccabees, The Cribs and Mystery Jets, so there is much to discuss....We also talk 6 Music Dad's, Basshunter inspired Scottish bangers and of course, Lisa Vanderpump.If you've not listened to Ducks Ltd yet, they released their second album, Harm's Way, last year and it is an exhilarating masterclass in indie jangle. It's well worth your time. Ducks Ltd's European tour is winding down, but I was lucky enough to catch them in London this week, I can't recommend enough that you make your way to whatever city they're playing in next.Enjoy this episode, enjoy Orange Juice and enjoy Ducks Ltd!

BONUS EPISODE! Oasis Special - Why Do Oasis Make People Feel So Emotional?
Something a little different today....It's been a glorious summer and watching stadiums full of Oasis fans in my social media feed has been an absolute joy to behold. On so many occassions, there's been fans (mostly men) crying their eyes out at these shows. Me included!So on this episode I wrote a few words asking why Oasis so often have me and so many other people crying their eyes out. There's a few contributions from listeners , but it's mostly a solo episode.I'm really proud of this change from the normal format and would love to know what you all think of it. Unless you think it's shit, in which case keep it to yourself. Haha! Oasis ain't all Poznans and pints of piss ya know.
"This Album..." with William Hann.
The podcast where each episode a guest and I deep dive an album of their choice.
It could be an album from any artist, any genre, any year.
We're going to discuss the songs, the shows, the artwork. But what I really want is to know is the emotional attachment my guest has to the album.
Who knows, we might even have a bloody laugh while doing it!
