Popular Reviews of Nothing Is Real

Really, what is the point of putting all this effort into what could be a very good podcast without any music? I think it's utterly pointless! I get that it's something about licensing but guys, there is an Elephant in the room! I was listening to some America guys with a series of podcasts on the top 100 records of all time, three or 4 guys shouting at each other about the plusses or minuses but no music to illustrate it, another bunch of guys, literally off track!

I rate this 4/5 overall, but the Christmas 2022 edition gets a 2. Did Father Ted's droning Austin Purcell break in and take over the podcast? It sounded more like an anti-Beatles, or certainly anti-McCartney, podcast than the usual entertaining show. Sneering non-stop, whilst sounding as though one of them was sitting on a spike. Every act was made to seem like a conspiracy, every commercial move was presented as though no other artist has 'product' put out there, every commonly-regarded success was re-cast as a failure. It reminded me of those bishops reviewing the Life of Brian all those years ago - smugness blended effortlessly with bile. It'll take a while to forget this episode, but I'll certainly do my best.

Great discussions. Is Paul an alien? Will the audience like your new material better, the less of it that you play?
