If you are a fan of the band The Fall or you like listening to alternative music related banter this is great listening. Steve & Paul Hanley have some great guests including many ex Fall band members. I really look forward to listening, this podcast now on its 3 series. I spoke to Mr Lister on his views of the podcast, he said "respect is due"

Fall Advance!
