“Barnard seems to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of the last half-century or so in rock music, and again it’s a situation where the host is a huge boon to the show’s appeal. One of the elements we like most is its attention on the unsung heroes of rock. So, you’ll get podcasts about David Bowie’s drummer, or maybe a sound engineer who worked on recording a classic album. Brilliant stuff.”
The Strange Brew Podcast welcomes your ideas/contributions. Unfortunately we cannot review new music due to the very heavy volume of requests.
