You can listen to an interview with me on the brilliant Apocalypse Bunker Discs podcast series, hosted by man-about-town Oliver Turtle. Operating on a similar model to 'Desert Island Discs', it involves the interviewee selecting eight tracks that they’d take to a post-apocalyptic underground bunker, and talking about their significance, as well as weaving in related songs (denoted in the episode chapters below with a plus sign) along the way around the main selection. There’s also a choice of one film and one book.
All the episodes are interesting in their own right, and worth a listen, with some truly bizarre, fantastical, and esoteric choices. And Taylor Swift, for some reason.
