They’ve made us an Offred we can’t refuse… On the smart pop culture podcast this week, we review C4’s ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’, look at new albums by Israeli sound-mangler Noga Erez and ambient pop newcomers Cigarettes After Sex, and ask why political pop records are so grim. Special guests Kate Hutchinson and Andrew Male join Andrew H and Matt in the Bigmouth Election Command Centre.

Podcast #57: Billy Bragg’s skiffle book, space electronica, Glen Campbell’s farewell

Clever talk about pop culture.

Bigmouth is pop culture talk for discerning grown-ups. Music, TV, movies, books or something else entirely – we’ll enthuse, argue, squabble and pick over the bones of what’s happening in the world of the stuff we love.

Presented by WORD magazine veterans Andrew Harrison (ex-editor of Q, Select and Mixmag) and Siân “Stan” Pattenden, a graduate of the Smash Hits and Select Mag Schools of Excellence.
