A Quiet Night Inside No 9 (+ Podding On)
This began as a podcast about BBC TV anthology show Inside No 9 by two people who just wanted to listen to one. But they couldn't. So they started one in the hope that it would inspire someone else to do something better. Five and a half years later, after 130 podcast episodes, the end of the ninth series of Inside No 9 and Stage Fright, Stephen and Andrew didn't want to drift apart with nothing to talk about, so they decided to Pod On. Every two weeks, they explore a meaningful cultural artefact, such as a TV show, film, or album, that they enjoy. They'd love you to join them. As you wouldn't expect adverts when chatting with friends in the pub, you won't find any here. You can support the show and help keep the lights on by becoming a Podding Off Patreon member. Between Podding On episodes, they are rewatching (and creating episodes about) The League of Gentlemen.
Episodes
Our shared cultural artefact for this episode is the pilot episode of Twin Peaks (1990), a TV show we've mentioned many times on this podcast over the years.

The cultural artefact we are exploring in this Podding On episode is Newcastle United manager Kevin Keegan's infamous rant about Alex Ferguson on 29th April 1996. We flick through Paul McCarthy's book, Fever Pitch: The Rise of the Premier League 1992-2004, and reflect on some of the weird, wonderful, and bizarre aspects of the early days of the Premier League.

We are not ready for the party (or our friendship) to end, so we are Podding On.
