Here’s Mr Tom from Keane. Not Tim as he is mistakenly called in the episode. Tim is the piano man
Top British musical artist Keane member Tom Chaplin poses in a studio at the recording of the 20th anniversary remake of Midge Ure and Sir Bob Geldof's 1984 charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" at Air Studios, Hampstead in London (2004)

In fact, it’s so important that earlier this year when we were asked by the lovely Matt who does the v good @pickadisc podcast to come on his show we chose Pop 2 and there’s almost 2 hrs of Charli chat and nonsense that you can listen to here open.spotify.com/episode/0PU…

One day we will do an episode that talks about one of the greatest pop cultural moments of all time but this article does an incredible job of recounting this brilliant madness

I (martyn) am quoted by v good writer @MichaelAHann for his piece about the history of the NOW album on its birthday. For a show like ours these compilations are essential so it was a pleasure to chat about Bob The Builder how the series could evolve independent.co.uk/arts-enter…

Hello. So we are cooking up some seasonal ā€˜fun’ and ā€˜content’ for you right now and we’re also planning season 2 so is there any song you absolutely must hear us cover?

Everyone loves a good chart battle so why not enjoy a classic of the genre by listening to episode 6 of our first season. Yes, this podcast is going to punish you open.spotify.com/episode/5t5…

OMG YES. Should we do a bonus episode on ā€˜The Promise’ to celebrate? There’s no way we’re doing I’ll Stand any You though. No chance.

Looking forward to the Noah Bob The Builder collab - ā€œKahan We Fix It?’
.@noahkahan’s folk pop is seemingly everywhere, with Grammy noms, SNL appearances and popular collabs to boot. Charlie sat down with Noah to opine on secret magic chords, car commercial music, and, of course, his acclaimed recording Stick Season. switchedonpop.com/episodes/n…

Would anyone like to join us in forming a prayer circle for a possible new Girls Aloud song to not be a ballad? Unless it sounds like ā€˜Whole Lotta History’ that would be more than OK.
