The Big Mates present one of their Patreon shows on the main feed... The Ultimate Playlist.

Join us as we explore a broader range of music from many genres and numerous artists, with each month focusing on 8 songs centred around a different theme. Each host picks 2 songs, and 2 songs come from our subscribers!

The theme is picked randomly from a pool of subscriber suggestions, but for these episodes (Part 2 out next week!) we focussed on the appropriately festive theme of Xmas!

To hear more episodes of this show, head to patreon.com/whatismusicpod and subscribe to the Biggest Mates tier! Episodes are released on the second and third Thursdays of every month!

The tier also comes with access to ad-free episodes of the main feed, our monthly Album Club show, additonal bonus episodes every month, and a very fun Discord community!

The Big Mates get festive once again.

Join us for another Christmas of mostly the same stuff as the previous ones. Are you ready for Christmas? Are you feeling Christmassy? What are your favourite Christmas songs?

Plus, we explore some of the festive offerings from R.E.M. from across their whole career!

It's all here, and it's all the same! Some games, some memories, and some mentions of the holiday season!

We'll be having a little break over the holiday period - but from next week you can hear last year's festive episodes of The Ultimate Playlist, appearing for free on the main feed for the first time! Those are released on December 23rd and 30th.

We'll be back in the New Year, on January 6th, with our deep-dive into Around the Sun by R.E.M.!
