    S4 EP4: Bat for Lashes with James Benge
    Nov 21 2024
    Letters to our daughters and our editors alike in this episode, as Ivo comes face to face with the train that crashed his heart, Oxstu music czar 2010 (and CBS Football correspondent 2024) James Benge. You might not need to know in real time when Stephen Fry is scratching his arse, but there’s some solid glasnostalgia about Tinie Tempah, Alphabeat, Pure Reason Revolution and other people we (James and Alex) interviewed when they were just kids in the dark, alongside their more recent trip (Ivo absent once more) to watch Natasha Khan dreaming of Delphi at the Barbican, alongside some pool-pooers who make Alex tear his luscious hair out.

    S4 EP3: Pig Tales - Onegin
    Nov 14 2024
    Which gig pigs gig has your disbelief been most suspended at? What’s Alex’s dad doing for his 90th? And who is Ted Sneezington? This and other big questions resolved in an epic poem of a Gig Pigs episode which is set in the Royal Opera House, but still manages to spend much of it debating Strokes albums. We’re so fun!

    S4 EP2: Girls Aloud with Catherine Bohart and Helen Bauer (AKA The Trusty Hogs)
    Nov 7 2024
    Oh hogs you're damn right, you can't read a pig's mind, we're living in two tribes and heading for war! The four porkiest poptimists in podcast put aside their whole lotta history to pay tribute after tribute, arguably one too many, to June's gig at the Something Kinda Ooooh2. Nobody sees the show, not all of it anyway, but it's an electric night and a long hot recap ft. the definition of mawkish, a horrible memory from The Inbetweeners S02E02, a brief grapple with Nicola Roberts's political campaigns, a brave attempt to connect the Parent Trap and the Cold War, and arguably the most fractious end to a Pig (if not Hog) podcast yet. We're gonna cause a controversy! Download extra swill, rate and leave review.

    Gig Pigs for the girls! Series 4 lurches us closer to husband and wifecast as the newly Kealyed Mhairi Beveridge returns, for a BBC bitesize level discussion of the H.O.T.T.est new pop star in the world, and some uncomfortable existential inquiries for King Gigzard, the Pigzard Wizard and their new GP tees. They didn’t get TO GO! to the gig but you’d have to stop the world just to stop the podcast! Download extra swill, rate and leave review.

    Jul 18 2024
    Where are your friends tonight? Once more, one little piggy stayed at home while the other plumped to go johnny go go go to Glastonbury without him. Here's the single-cam report from the farm, then: getting up front for Janelle, giving himself to every breath at Fontaines, and getting into a right tizz about who punched Biff.

    S3 EP10: Pip Blom with Celeste Dring
    Jun 27 2024
    We wanna gig you in our pigs, in our pigs, is this love? Another trip to Heaven (not Alex’s first) for the podcast, this time to watch “your new favourite festival band”, Dutch upstarts Pim Blom, with writer, actor, dancer and Thong Song enthusiast Celeste Dring. We discuss the band’s place in the Dutch music firmament, the logistics of a family-friendly rave, and whether it’s just easier not to talk to your parents (unless they’re helping sell your merch). And, either side of that, we’ve got some EXCLUSIVE titbits from Alex’s wedding. All we want is for you to be happy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Do you like funny jokes? Do you like famous bands? Well, you have no idea what you’re getting yourself into here, as Alex and Ivo (electro) swing from the Ally Pally to the Staggy Claggy via a Staggeringly Specific Shakedown of Alex’s DJ choices in Machynlleth. Uphold awhile the unyoked humour of our idleness! And see you on June 8th!
