Episode 137 - A Lot Of People Are From Oldham
Jul 14, 2025
Jul 14, 2025
1hr 4 min
This week, in between the music chat, we talk about the lost computer wars (Amstrad), a bit of East is East, the strange history of Gregorian chanting in pop music, and lovely ol' Bernard Cribbins gets a look in. Plus the usual nonsense.

Yes yes yes! We're back with more silly titles and sillier "banter" (horrible word). In fact, "bants" is a word for the lowest echelon of humanity. If you participate in "bants" then you are officially dead to us. Sorry, where was I...
Oh yeah. Its ENOE!

Today is one of those episodes that might give you whiplash. I should say that this episode was recorded before the 16th of July and thus we don't make reference to certain events around our second artist. Plus we step on an aural boobie trap!

Its not Moby Dick, but its certainly a whale of a tune that we encounter this week. Its BIG. But is that a good thing? Plus we show just how little the lads know about the lady-based reproductive system.

Another week, another nine tracks. We're getting down to the wire now aren't we! Scary stuff! What will we all do when this is done? Go about our lives?! How is one to cope?!

Episode 142 - The Condiment Argument

1hr 22 min
I think if the ENOE brigade were ever going to court controversy, this is the episode to do it. No we're not making up spurious lies about pop stars, suggesting possible sex scandals, or the length of x's widge. Not today! Instead, we're asking the real questions, the important questions: sauces, condiments, gravies, and jous. Where do YOU stand?
We'd normally edit this down but there's too much to not.

Episode 143 - Who Is The Most Famous Cherry?
Aug 25, 2025
Aug 25, 2025
1hr 5 min
We've got less than 20 episodes to go. As the grand project draws to a close, we encounter a baldie, a scallywag, a plastic lady, another lady, and, as we cover from last week's spicy debate, let us all collect our heads, we ask just who IS the most famous cherry?

Episode 144 - Just Use My Mouth

Sep 1, 2025
1hr 9 min
We need to offer a public apology for Liam's use of the phrase that became the title of this week's drop from ENOE Towers. He'd had a packet of smarties and a froob and was far too aroused by the whole thing. Also, fear not dear listener, Craig did indeed develop a lovely tan. Plus we review some music.

Episode 145 - Mary Whitehouse's Love Egg

1hr 10 min
Honestly, the boys deserved their luck this week. They really can't be trusted. Or maybe like the ancient wisdom of drunken kung fu, they're actually masters of their craft and merely trying to wrong foot you. Or maybe they're just nobs.

Episode 146 - Drugs, Guns and Our Lisa

Dropping into your Monday morning like the inevitable pret croissant and commuter traffic, the boys hope to ring mirth, merriment and memories of Moss side to your day.

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.
