Hosted by Out of Left Field · EN
Out of Left Field brings you the popular and fringe culture podcast, concentrating on Music, Film and Television. Each episode we explore a general topic such as 'Were The Beatles a folk band?', discuss a particular creative such as Annette Peacock and make recommendations for material you may have heard of and much you have never come across. No remote region of creativity is overlooked as hosts Kevin Petch, David Benn along with guest presenters explore culture through the 1950's to early 1980's.
Plus everything after then.
And most of what happened back to... well, pretty much the end of the Younger Dryas.

Transcribe →David Bowie Part Two
3w ago01:19:04Tap to summarizeFollowing an epic Part One with Phil and Mel, we were unable to fit our Hunky Dory conversation in. So here it is, in all its glory, in Part Two. Then, we welcome music writer Steve Walsh to the studio to discuss The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, Aladdin Sane, Pin-Ups, Diamond Dogs and Young Americans.

Transcribe →Bruce Springsteen Nebraska
May 1101:14:33Tap to summarizeWe have all our ducks in a row for this episode, discussing an album, a film and a program available on streaming.After the success of The River Bruce Springsteen was burnt out and frustrated. Wanting to avoid the difficult studio production process of the previous two albums, the boss retreated to a secluded property and invested in a fairly new invention - a four track portastudio. What emerged was one of the iconic albums of the 20th century.We talk about the creative process, his struggle to fully realise his ambition, and the deep connection all three presenters feel to this album.We include the recent Nebraska 82: Expanded edition, the biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere, and the performance at the Count Basie theatre.If you don't like Springsteen, Darren has some advice for you.Full links at:https://www.kevinspetchcreative.com/news.htmlWe make no revenue from links or recommendations.Hosts Kevin Petch, Darren Worth and David Benn.Produced by Kevin Petch for Out Of Left Field.Thanks for supporting 5282.

Transcribe →Chuck Norris Films and TV
Apr 1301:02:56Tap to summarizeIf there was a Hollywood Walk of Kick Ass, Chuck Norris would have two fists planted in the cement. His films focus on martial arts, high octane action and don't bother much with introspection, romance or the multiverse. So not all bad. What is his legacy? How do his films compare to the big budget major studio fare of Schwarzenegger and Stallone? And just how did Norris become an internet meme sensation?Discussing all this and more, we even recommend a Chuck Norris film you could watch with the family, especially if your family enjoy seeing stuff getting blown up and bad guys getting kicked through doors.Full links at:https://www.kevinspetchcreative.com/news.htmlWe make no revenue from links or recommendations.Hosts Kevin Petch, Rob Wood and David Benn.Produced by Kevin Petch for Out Of Left Field.Thanks for supporting 5282.
