Word In Your Ear

David Hepworth, Mark Ellen and chums cast an occasionally jaundiced eye over the goings-on in the worlds of music and entertainment.

The original rock podcast – now in its 20th year! – knocks the week’s news across the conversational net. Amid the top-spin, rallies and double-faults, you’ll find …

… farcical developments in the Tupac trial

… the shock-horror reaction to the Sam Mendes Beatles’ wigs!

… Dave Marsh’s ‘1001 Greatest Singles’ in 1989: what 45s released since would make his Top 10?

… ‘If the Phone Doesn’t Ring, It’s Me’, ‘I’ve Been Flushed From The Bathroom Of Your Heart’: real or made-up Country song titles?

… “People buy albums because they like the band. They buy singles because they like the song”

… musicians who wrote a second memoir as the first one wasn’t all true

… the Stones single that’s streets ahead of their others

… the Hank Marvin Challenge: the correct facial expression when playing instrumentals!

… are the greatest singles the ones with the most emotional depth?

… and the mystery of ‘No Way Out’ by Joyce Harris.
