Letters to our daughters and our editors alike in this episode, as Ivo comes face to face with the train that crashed his heart, Oxstu music czar 2010 (and CBS Football correspondent 2024) James Benge. You might not need to know in real time when Stephen Fry is scratching his arse, but there’s some solid glasnostalgia about Tinie Tempah, Alphabeat, Pure Reason Revolution and other people we (James and Alex) interviewed when they were just kids in the dark, alongside their more recent trip (Ivo absent once more) to watch Natasha Khan dreaming of Delphi at the Barbican, alongside some pool-pooers who make Alex tear his luscious hair out.

Which gig pigs gig has your disbelief been most suspended at? What’s Alex’s dad doing for his 90th? And who is Ted Sneezington? This and other big questions resolved in an epic poem of a Gig Pigs episode which is set in the Royal Opera House, but still manages to spend much of it debating Strokes albums. We’re so fun!

Oh hogs you're damn right, you can't read a pig's mind, we're living in two tribes and heading for war! The four porkiest poptimists in podcast put aside their whole lotta history to pay tribute after tribute, arguably one too many, to June's gig at the Something Kinda Ooooh2. Nobody sees the show, not all of it anyway, but it's an electric night and a long hot recap ft. the definition of mawkish, a horrible memory from The Inbetweeners S02E02, a brief grapple with Nicola Roberts's political campaigns, a brave attempt to connect the Parent Trap and the Cold War, and arguably the most fractious end to a Pig (if not Hog) podcast yet. We're gonna cause a controversy!

Gig Pigs for the girls!
Series 4 lurches us closer to husband and wifecast as the newly Kealyed Mhairi Beveridge returns, for a BBC bitesize level discussion of the H.O.T.T.est new pop star in the world, and some uncomfortable existential inquiries for King Gigzard, the Pigzard Wizard and their new GP tees. They didn’t get TO GO! to the gig but you’d have to stop the world just to stop the podcast!

Where are your friends tonight? Once more, one little piggy stayed at home while the other plumped to go johnny go go go to Glastonbury without him. Here's the single-cam report from the farm, then: getting up front for Janelle, giving himself to every breath at Fontaines, and getting into a right tizz about who punched Biff.

We wanna gig you in our pigs, in our pigs, is this love? Another trip to Heaven (not Alex’s first) for the podcast, this time to watch “your new favourite festival band”, Dutch upstarts Pim Blom, with writer, actor, dancer and Thong Song enthusiast Celeste Dring. We discuss the band’s place in the Dutch music firmament, the logistics of a family-friendly rave, and whether it’s just easier not to talk to your parents (unless they’re helping sell your merch). And, either side of that, we’ve got some EXCLUSIVE titbits from Alex’s wedding. All we want is for you to be happy!

A betrayal filled pod about a very happy few hours snoozing, (la) luzing, diving, dashing, fathering and falling in Brockwell Park. Into the blue again, into the silent water, we saw what we saw!

Do you like funny jokes? Do you like famous bands? Well, you have no idea what you’re getting yourself into here, as Alex and Ivo (electro) swing from the Ally Pally to the Staggy Claggy via a Staggeringly Specific Shakedown of Alex’s DJ choices in Machynlleth. Uphold awhile the unyoked humour of our idleness! And see you on June 8th!

Los Campesinos!? As in, death to Los Campesinos!? The gigd*icks and the dipsh*t lay down their weapons to discuss pinching lyrics, kissing Tories and living off 2008, via a triumphant gig at the Troxy and the announcement of a new album! All’s hell that ends well!

He’s an astronomical, fan of bowling balls, so welcome in Felix White, the shirt-shredding, pepper-grinding, review-devouring guitarist of first the Maccabees and now 86TVs, who pigs as hard as he gigs and has plenty kind words to say about liking the rock music of Sea Power, Cumbria’s finest via Tunbridge Wells, the Islington Assembly Hall and the (Irish it turns out) Isle of Aran. We never wanted his tales to end: a precious time discussing the delicate art of the full album play (our third of the series!) and whether 2007 really was a pitch black heaven: soon we’re acting like he’s our best friend. He looked like he looked like he was enjoying himself, but will he remember us? You know it’s right!

We're the wrong kind of people, why'd you listen to us? Because we've achieved our Desire! Desire! and (so nearly) watched Everything Everything, the most interesting and consistent band of their generation, alongside their biggest fan, and Alex's birthday twin, Lolly Adefope (Saltburn, Ghosts, @elevenish). A joyous hour of pig climbs, pig falls, and pink piggies with their hands on their ears: she makes the foolish grin, we flap around in pigskin, and for just one pod, one pod we feel, like we might be on the right path, the path that takes us home. It's a dream we're in with her!
