Episode 35 – What’s Your Favourite New Song You’ve Discovered This Year?

We put the question out there: What’s your favourite new song you’ve discovered this year? You delivered. Fifteen songs came in – some brand new, some old gems freshly unearthed - and we listened to every one of them live on the pod.

In this episode, we give each track a proper listen and an honest score, ending with a definitive (and slightly chaotic) ranked list. Expect musical surprises and plenty of new tunes to stick on your playlist.

Along the way, the song list sparks two separate battles: one between brothers, and another that reignites the infamous 'Battle of the Bens'.

In this episode, Karl and Aidan welcome Bradley Bowers into the Pod-Lodge. Bradley is the founder of BCB Production, a company specialising in audio/visual and technical support for live events. If you’re building something creative and want it to look and sound brilliant, Bradley’s the guy you call.

We dig into how musicians and creatives can better prepare for the stage - from technical setup to mindset - and Bradley answers questions from our listeners, offering plenty of hands-on insights along the way.

Also in this episode: the fallout from Episode 33 continues, with a brewing turf war between Ben Dlugokecki and Ben Townsend. It gets tense…

Which song should everyone hear at least once in their life?

Karl and Aidan take on this near-impossible question, joined by some familiar voices as past guests return to share their top picks from around the globe. With a longlist in hand, K&A attempt the thankless task of ranking them all… but only one song can come out on top.

Tune in to find out which track takes the crown — and a huge thanks to our podcast alumni for all their brilliant suggestions!
