The Afterword #107: Remix/Remaster
The Afterword Podcast
Twang, Tiggerlion, FentonSteve and Dai blow the cobwebs out of the pod and convene to discuss remixes and remasters. Fenton talks for approximately 3 hours about Sadie and dynamic range compression. Inevitably the Fabs sets come up, and Twang crowbars in the Tull series of reissues. We consider the frilly bits put around old and beloved albums to get us to rebuy things we already have multiple times, and the team tip their favourites and some clunkers to avoid. H*ffman readers will be relieved to know this pod was mastered at -16db LUFS.

The Afterword #106: The lockdowncast
The Afterword Podcast
Twang joins Tiggerlion, MosleyMoles, Leeds Boy and SteveT in the pod to discuss the lockdown. The team consider what cultural gems kept them sane in this difficult period, gratuitous spending, what they have planned for an unlocked summer as we stumble, blinking, into the light and pause for a moment to consider whether we might actually miss a time of low pollution, no traffic and working on the kitchen table.

The Afterword #105: The 80scast
The Afterword Podcast
Twang finally finds the key to the pod and virtually gathers with Tiggerlion, Dave Amitri and special guest Hilary to discuss the 80s, a decade beloved and reviled by equal numbers of people. Perhaps, the team muse, a decade with plenty to feel down about in the world needed frothy, fun, happy and irreverent music to provide some respite. Unless, Twang sighs, you were a miserable git anyway.

The Afterword #103: Disco!
The Afterword Podcast
Twang welcomes Tiggerlion, Milkybarnet and Moseley Moles to the pod to discuss the enduring phenomenon that is disco. From its fully formed arrival in the mid 70 it quickly overwhelmed all competition through mutations into pop, rock and even jazz and all fell to the irresistible argument that it’s fun and everyone can dance to it. Even mass burning of Bee Gees albums couldn’t kill it, and and when it survived disco treatments from Rod Stewart and Kiss, lesser forms just gave up and went home.

The Afterword #101: The One to Onecast – Mousey
The Afterword Podcast
Twang welcomes Mousey to the pod for a 121 natter. We discover growing up in New Zealand, being a nerdy piano kid, seeing ELP at Wembley and writing songs for Play School. In a long career as a successful musician our guest is remains refreshingly keen and still got a kick out of walking across the Abbey Road crossing even whilst recording there.

The Afterword #100: The Recordingcast
The Afterword Podcast
In our 100th episode Twang welcomes Skirky, FentonSteve and Mr. Pee to the pod to discuss how music is recorded. Partly a history lesson, partly a set of opinions strongly held and fiercely defended, the team can agree (more or less) that it's never been easier to make and consume music and that this must be a good thing.
info_outlineTwang welcomes Pencilsqueezer to the pod for a rambling one to one discussion taking in life, art, music, creativity and Walter Trout’s liver. With true artistic control, the boys go approximately an hour over schedule and the resultant ‘cast is a sadly cut down version of the master tape which will be available in the to-be released AW Podcast Masters series.
Volunteers for a rambling chat with Twang for the pod please PM!
