And here's the Apple link for Episode 19! The season is almost complete but @davenuclear.bsky.social and @pankp007.bsky.social ain't done yet.... podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/c...

So many shout-outs! @epeolatrix.bsky.social @johnlogsdon.bsky.social @timchuma.com @froggylelong.bsky.social @allthatchas.bsky.social. As ever, thank you all.

Episode 19 of Bang! is out. Our countdown (for season 1) is almost done. Tracks 93 to 97 are big. The Stranglers, Heaven 17, Morrisey, The Sound, Level 42 all feature. As does a film review. And our plans for... erm... Season 2! Join us! open.spotify.com/episode/3SnT...

Oops. Errata. Corrigenda. 93 to 97.

We're almost done with Season 1. Songs 94 to 98 are discussed in Episode 19. Out tomorrow. And here is one classic on the agenda. Oh and @davenuclear.bsky.social and @pankp007.bsky.social do some film reviewing too. #podcast #80smusic.

It's fascinating. Sean Judge is seriously worth listening to.

The new episode of the Threads pod is out! This time we hear from Sean Judge who started the Facebook group Threads Survivors. When he he first watched the film he had months of sleepless nights and threw his VHS copy in the bin. He talks about how Threads inspired him to work with death.

Always a pleasure to hear the boys... And I've long been a fan of Mrs Miggins.

This week’s Major Star is Mrs Miggins, a welcome female addition to the sausage fest that is Blackadder The Third. Far from having a “brain the size of a sultana” she reveals herself to be a canny businesswoman with a floury finger on the pulse of the times. open.spotify.com/episode/5Iyy...

On today's episode I am going to take a look at the album “Ace of Spades” by Motorhead, the band's fourth studio album released on November 8, 1980. #Motorhead #AceOfSpades #MusicPodcast #AlbumReviews #MusicFromALifetime #MetalSky open.spotify.com/episode/2ZGw...

Right. @davenuclear.bsky.social found this in his shed. And it's gorgeous. Until you take the planar view. He's gonna fix it. Yes he can! Well, he'd better....

We were honoured to meet the wonderful Trevor Horn this evening at the Apex Theatre. He spoke about his life the magnificent music that soundtracked the 80sz and answered @pankp007.bsky.social question at length about the brilliant Annihilation Mix by Frankie. Just a joyous evening.

So... Merch t-shirts are now invariably £40 to £45. This happened almost imperceptibly. I remember not long ago they being £25. The move through the 30s was quick and under the radar. Highly unsatisfactory.

No spoilers here, so don't worry but there's a point when POTUS says "I was listening to a podcast the other day...". Surely there could have been only one?

We've seen it. We love it. Thoughts, and we can discuss next Episode? m.imdb.com/title/tt3237...

@bangpodcast.bsky.social best show yet fellas! I'm biased of course being a massive goth fan! Interesting that you mentioned the Doors - I believe they were the first band to be described as goth, years before what we think of as the 1980s heyday of the movement

Nice to get a shout out and will be listening to the latest episode tomorrow as I’ve caught up now. So that’s a must as I’ve said before this is a great podcast.

I had never considered Black Planet as a possible nuclear war song, so that gives me something new to consider. And since Cities in Dust made my own list, I agree with your selection. 😁 Great picks and now I'm considering making a new playlist that's less pop alternative than my current one.

A fantastic episode, gentlemen! I’m with Dave about the goth label, I’m mostly used to it, but I feel it’s broadly misapplied. Of course I know all of the artists, but not the last two tracks. That David J song is hard-hitting. I’ve seen four of five live in some iteration (not Sisters yet). Cheers!

As ever, a ton of shout-outs: to our new friends @nickpackham.co.uk @jeffmay72.bsky.social and Dave Barton who had the idea. And regular heroes @epeolatrix.bsky.social and @johnlogsdon.bsky.social @topleighton.bsky.social @mocca1976.bsky.social and @allthatchas.bsky.social. Thank you all....

It’s a new Bang pod! @bangpodcast.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/5O2e...

Shock and horror. It's our (post-)Halloween Episode 18 with Goth favourites from Sisters of Mercy, The Cure, Siouxsie, Southern Death Cult and David Jay. Plus, a fab special guest - nuclear artist Kirsty Harris. Join us! open.spotify.com/episode/5O2e...

He does Bang on on this topic. From @davenuclear.bsky.social

Love the idea of these petit-pods. And this is really good. Some fab little nuggets from Jane Hazlegrove here.

Episode five is live. It’s a micro episode with some extra bits from my Jane Hazlegrove interview and a few bits of news about the pod. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/j... @bangpodcast.bsky.social @scarredforlife.bsky.social

In some added Turmoil this week I've been notified that the show has earned its first copyright strike! I suggest listening to the unexpurgated episode ASAP in case they don't accept my response and I'm forced to remove and edit it. Tell your friends. Run, don't walk Bio.link/thesoundof

Loved that this week’s episode featured two of my favourite tracks from two great artists. Genesis with Land of Confusion and Talking Heads with Life During Wartime. Both cracking songs and another cracking episode.

Still loving this brilliant podcast guys. I’m now on episode 16. Loved the Scarred for Life episode and still enjoying finding out about new music you guys are talking about. Keep it up and hope you have something else lined up once you’ve done your 101 songs.

It's an absolute joy to receive these messages. Thank you to all who have listened over recent months. We've got plenty more to come. Do keep spreading the word about our #podcast.

@bangpodcast.bsky.social Morning Guys, I heard you on Chas’s podcast yesterday and though I’d drop you a line to say I’m now subscribed to you. I’m starting from the beginning and already love it.

Glad to have made it here for #5debutalbums8084. A terrific 1980 power-pop slab with an iconic single. So much grist for my pals Pank & Dave over at the Bang! podcast @bangpodcast.bsky.social Also saw them recently at one of the #CruelWorld years. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

What a lovely episode introducing me to a show I had heard of but never seen. Lots to enjoy here especially from @thewatersoflove.bsky.social

In this special bonus episode, we look at New Zealand’s “fourth most popular comedy-folk duo” and their award-winning HBO show, which centres on Bret and Jemaine’s spectacular failure to take New York by storm. With guest star Chrissy 😍@thewatersoflove.bsky.social! open.spotify.com/episode/7z9t...

I have been holding off on the podcast until I had a chance to watch Threads. But I couldn’t resist listening to your conversation. And it was almost as fun as Bang!

Have just finished your episode on Live Aid. And again a very interesting one. So good to be informed on tracks I’ve never heard of before, for example David Bowie with Time Will Crawl had no idea that was in the top 40. Onwards to the next episode and still enjoying this brilliant podcast.

He was simply perfect. No need for a debate. I mean, we can have one if you like. But he'll win. Every time.

It's been our absolute pleasure to join @allthatchas.bsky.social on his excellent new podcast about Threads. Niche nuclear podcasts are our thing...

Clean, Clean by The Buggles! Yes! That album, The Age of Plastic is amazing. Johnny on the Monorail is one of the most warped songs out there. Amazing! 5 great bands and songs on this episode. Another great instalment of this always informative and fun podcast. Cheers Pank and Dave!

We are really sad to say goodbye to Dave Ball of Soft Cell. What a duo, what a band. Such edgy and frequently perfect songs... Rest in peace, sir.

A week to go till our Ghost Story Special live show! Bring your spooky tales for a big, cosy group chat at Dukes Theatre, Lancaster, with me and @bobfischer.bsky.social Tickets: bit.ly/3HK5duQ

Me on Pizza Hut. “Let’s be real: when you want a Pizza Hut, nothing on God’s earth will do apart from a Pizza Hut. Not sourdough. Not artisan basil. Not a man called Dylan telling you about the soil pH of his San Marzano tomatoes. Just. Pizza. Hut.” metro.co.uk/2025/10/22/p...

To paraphrase Kevin Keegan I would luv it if you’d listen to my podcast, or share it, or rate it, or review it. Thanks ever so! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/j...

What a lovely thing to read... Welcome to the nuclear family @jeffmay72.bsky.social. Hope we keep you entertained.

Great new episode, gents! Knew all the artists, but not the Fisher-Z(ed) track. My Vapors album is patiently awaiting to be played for #5debutslbums8084. Hope I make it to V! #johnsvinyl Ps: I forgot to comment on the previous fab episode. Apologies!

Caught up on @bangpodcast.bsky.social - brilliant stuff as ever! Threads! I watched it at the time - never again. Ste summed it all up in the @scarredforlife.bsky.social episode when he said that for years he was convinced he would die in a nuclear war - this is exactly how I felt in 1983-85

Superb. More Cold War ones please...

@bangpodcast.bsky.social I have a nuclear themed misheard lyric - from Chain Reaction by Diana Ross - 'Tell Eddie Waring there ain't no salvation..'.
