Merry Xmas Episode

Truly wonderful Xmas episode. How it took almost half an hour for somebody to actually say "Obviously this is completely futile" is beyond me 😀

Oh Brothers

Carry on y’all. Every episode has been an interesting listen. You’ve definitely improved on the production side. The first episodes were a tough listen, especially the live from a pub and the sweet accents, but whatever the complaints, I’m in.

Question

Great for fall fans and music lovers! What fall song would you have wanted to play on The Young Ones tv show?
Cotton-Eyed Moe

Hail Hanley!

Much appreciation and gratitude to Steve and Paul Hanley for having the foresight and gumption to conceive and carry forth with this series. May it never end!
OCD, etc.

The best

Love these guys! The lo-fi production can be a little hard on the ears but I’m on on board anyhow.

Dream Come True

Not to sound too dorky, but this really is the coolest thing ever.

Great job lads

Fun, laidback look inside the Fall by the two guys who may have the best insight into the group. Nice to hear from the guests so far as well. The Handleys don’t have an axe to grind or any agenda; it’s like hanging out in the pub and hearing stories about the Fall and the scene in general. Could imagine that “the fallen” could have some bitterness or conversely, too much reverence for MES. None of that here, just a laugh-filled look into our favorite group.

Great podcast

Great to hear the Hanley Brothers reminisce. As a Fall fan from the US from 1987 it was difficult to hear interviews or find information back in the day! I had one of those Mark E Smith for Drain Comissioner signs as well! Love both the Hanley brothers’ books as well. Looking forward to more!

O Brother Indeed

For a US Fan of the Fall, stumbling on this made my day. I was the guy in the Big Midweek who provided Steve and Band the “Mark E. Smith for Drain Commissioner” backdrop in Philly. Great episode with lots of laughs. Would love to grab a pint with Steve and/or Steve and Paul someday if our paths ever crossed. Highly entertaining and informative episode and looking forward to the next one.
