Fran and Babs (@flame_me_up) are music fans living in two different countries (England and Belgium). After meeting online thanks to a mutual love of music and comedy, they decided to start a podcast together as an outlet for their passionate opinions - so they came up with a format, hopped on Zoom to record, and lo - a new music podcast was born 👼🏽 

How does it work? Well, we think of a topic, for example a place (Brighton) or a genre (Britpop). We then each pick a band or artist one of us thinks is overrated, and the other one thinks is underrated (see how we came up with that genius title?!). 

We each then make a five or ten-track Spotify playlist showcasing why we think an artist is brilliant (or terrible), go off and listen to each other’s selections, then come back to discuss - and see if we can change each other's minds. We’ll make the playlists public so you can listen back to our selections and we’ll also include any other interesting songs discussed in each episode. 

Sound like your kind of thing? Then please download, subscribe and get in touch! Follow us on social media - it's @OUmusicpod on Twitter, @overunderratedmusicpod on Instagram. You can also email us at [email protected].
