Episode 99 - Putting Mungo On Trial
Monday Sep 30, 2024
Monday Sep 30, 2024
99 is a big number. You know what the next one is right?! That probably explains why we're all a bit weird and giddy at the start of this. This week we've come over all dictionary corner as we learn what JLS really stands for, and how you properly spell Derulo. Oh and how Mungo Jerry sealed Elvis' fate.

Episode 100 - Who Was The Owl?
Monday Oct 07, 2024
Monday Oct 07, 2024
It is our centenary episode! Yes, we've made it to 100 full episodes without any slippage in the the level of professionalism or critical thinking we're so famous for. This episode runs the gamut, with absolute bangers, forgotten gems, awful landfillcore, and some special buzzer sounds. Plus, we finally ask "who was the owl afterall"?
We're nearly two thirds through the grand project so, if you're new here, you've got some serious catching up!

Episode 101 - Herpés
Monday Oct 14, 2024
Monday Oct 14, 2024
The level of chaos is somewhat higher than usual in this episode. No idea why. Maybe it was a full moon? Or maybe now that we're two thirds of the way through we've all gone a bit demob happy. Anyway, this is the episode where we take Ariana to task about some of her 'image' choices, we get a list song, AND Liam shares the dullest fact known to man.

Episode 102 - Boglerific
Monday Oct 21, 2024
Monday Oct 21, 2024
Today we've been given a ticket to visit the smoking room at the houses of parliament (not capitalised, they don't deserve it), we learn about dynamo and do some mild character assassination, and we all feel better knowing what to do and not to do with your ex. Enjoy!

Episode 103 - Cliffmas '24
Monday Oct 28, 2024
Monday Oct 28, 2024
Its a good job that this week is the week that includes Halloween, because you wouldn't actually believe that this episode went down the way it did. It was bizarre! And there is frankly nothing I can do by way of explanation to mediate expectations or otherwise prepare you for whats about to go down.
Good luck.

Episode 104 - Bookend Geordie
Monday Nov 04, 2024
Monday Nov 04, 2024
There was a lot of talk about willies, crotch framing, and other nethers stuff this week. Not our finest our as far as decorum is concerned. But we do learn some facts and chat some nonsense as per usual, and Craig fails to say names.

Episode 105 - There's A Spider
Monday Nov 11, 2024
Monday Nov 11, 2024
Ouch! This week we're faced with "a load of modern ones" - thats the luck of the draw I guess. Will we bash them to death as you'd expect? Or are we slightly more nuanced? You tell me. Plus, there's a spider.

Episode 106 - Why Do You Have A Hammer?
Monday Nov 18, 2024
Monday Nov 18, 2024
You might get whiplash from the bizarre switchback turns we have to make in this pod. It couldn't be more all over the place! Also, Matt brings an offensive weapon to the office, Liam channels the spirit of Mae West and we find out that Craig doesn't like 'em long. Wuss.

Episode 107 - Stroking The Magnets
Monday Nov 25, 2024
Monday Nov 25, 2024
I should say that, whilst this is a lovely bit of nonsense from us this week, it is also perhaps a little... blue? Not the boy band. Its all a little risqué so be warned. Also, are those the mellifluous tones of Ainsley we hear? And will our sticky friend return?

Episode 108 - Pato Tinted Lenses
Monday Dec 02, 2024
Monday Dec 02, 2024
This episode arrived late into your feeds. Guess why? Yes dear listener, thats right. I fell asleep. At one point my hammy hands rested on my keyboard and typed "lkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk" for seven pages. But what you can do eh? Better late than never. Once you've heard it you may have wished I'd have slept for longer.
Welcome to Every Number One Ever!
A revisionist history of pop music and culture from 1952 to now.
Over the next three years, friends and DAA stalwarts Matthew Leonard, Craig Lowe, and Liam Maloney are pruning the UK pop charts from day dot to now. Randomly selected number ones fired at them and either banished to the bin for all eternity or raised to the hallowed pantheon of pop after discussion, argument and general nonsense.
The discarded songs will be expunged from history and in their stead shall be one randomly selected number two single. Will it be Penny Lane, God Only Knows, Jean Genie? Or the Dexys Midnight Runner's parody 'Come On England'? Only fate and a random spreadsheet function can know for sure!
So join us on our odyssey into pop as we try to correct some historical musical maladies and revitalise the once glittering UK pop chart.
