The Early Late Night Review Show

SE4 EP5 - Spoon in a Champagne Bottle

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 12:06:24 +0000

This was more of a test to see if remote podcasting works. By some miracle, it did. Not sure how, these things never work. Anyway, a slow and quite tired chat with Ben Cosmos as we talk about life, the universe and things they lied to you about.

SE4 EP4 - Snakes Alive! (Part 2)

Thu, 23 Mar 2023 14:34:16 +0000

The second part of the band reunion with former band mates Emma and Aaron (Owen had to leave for family duties, such is middle aged life). We talk about cocktails, crisps, songs and therapy. We definitely don't talk about Prince Harry. Closing song is World Before Wireless with 'All Your Clever Words' an unreleased recording that needed airing.

SE4 EP3 - Snakes Alive! (Part 1)

Sun, 12 Mar 2023 16:59:47 +0000

Band reunion! My old band World Before Wireless got back together after 12 years of not seeing each other to (not play music but) drink booze, eat crisps, and remember when we were so time-rich we could sit in the pub all day after rehearsal. We didn't get big but we did have some great times. This was one of them. Deep.

SE4 EP2 - A Succulent Chinese Meal

Sat, 17 Dec 2022 14:56:25 +0000

Another episode but this time with a guest who genuinely doesn't want to be on a podcast. A surreal experience. Listen to long time friend Will hate every moment of this rather drunken podcast. I'm a good friend.

The Early Late Night Review Show. Quality? No. Quantity? Also no.

Note: This podcast can also be found on my daily podcast feed The Evening Almanac. Available on all podcast platforms ever. Possibly.

SE4 EP1 - Alright Needle!

Sat, 22 Oct 2022 13:41:47 +0000

A new season of podcasting! Just when you thought The Early Late Night Review Show had stopped, it returns. Like Covid. Or Small-pox.

This episode is with actor and comedian Andy Obeney and retired (!) comedian Ian Irvine. And of course me, Jamie. I can only apologise.

Apologies, sound is a little echoy for first 2 minutes then oddly sorts itself out. I'm not skilled enough to work out why.

Note, this podcast can also be found on my new daily podcast feed The Evening Almanac - on all podcast platforms you can think of. And some you can't.

Mon, 24 Aug 2020 11:30:19 +0000

Wed, 05 Aug 2020 19:26:28 +0000

On this episode, we have Jon "Lofty", a DJ-come-IT whizz and we have a wide-ranging conversation.

In this episode we celebrate close friend and general person Tom B returning from Australia to start his London life. We're also joined by another person called Tom and of course Ian turns up. Loads of banter on the banter train to Banterville. Unfortunately this train terminates as Low Energy Crewe. But it's a free ride, so what do you expect? Laters.

SE3 EP4 - Due to an Error

Sun, 15 Sep 2019 14:54:50 +0000

For this episode, we're joined by (award winning!) comic Belle Fin as she lets us into her lovely Westminster pad to chat about music and creativity. And we somehow end up down a self-help rabbit hole. This episode is also spliced with exasperated real calls to the Tory Head Office as for some reason Belle Fin's number is also mistakenly given out as some sort of Tory hotline for moaning. The closing song is an instrumental of 'Hello' by Lionel Richie that is performed by Gilles Petry on his Yamaha Genos. You can view this snazzy keyboard and performance on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BT1id4ZQcFM

Wed, 12 Sep 2018 22:13:33 +0000

On this episode I'm joined by Tom A who essentially talks about three things in order: Teaching is hard // music that is good // computers are nuts. That just about sums this up.

SE2 EP3 - Professional to the Last

Tue, 30 Jan 2018 11:14:02 +0000

This episode we're with mild-mannered grunge-head Aaron C as he chats to us all about Derry, music and not so much about Tim Lovejoy, which is a shame. Though, he's kind enough to play us a tune. Therefore the closing number is 'This Bruise' by Aaron. Obviously.

SE2 EP2 - Acronyms and Initials

Fri, 29 Dec 2017 19:45:02 +0000

The one where I talk at you for 40 minutes about being in bands and there are some adverts. No really. Though the story is ok and there are nice bits of music spliced in between the narrative. Give it a listen. First episode without a guest. Normal service resumed sooner or later, yeah? Enjoy. All music is written and owned by me, so no one take this episode down, yo. Closing track is a nostalgic demo of 'Bird on a Wing' by "LKS".

Sun, 01 Oct 2017 18:11:54 +0000

Welcome to Season 2! This week we're joined by regular talking human Ian as we chat with his dominatrix friend about all things, er, dominatrix-y. There's also a question section and some jingles. What else do you want? This is free yeah?

SE1 EP12 - Decision Machines

Sun, 26 Mar 2017 20:34:35 +0000

Back like a bad smell in an old house after a brief hiatus where you thought you'd fixed the problem, this episode is an inebriated late night chat about er, Phil Collins mainly.

Worst of Episodes 1 - 10

Thu, 15 Dec 2016 13:22:41 +0000

Yes that's right, it's a highlights show. Or in this case, perhaps a lowlights show, as we revisit all the proper bantery bantz and interesting facts from episodes 1 to 10. The closing song is the Pearl and Dean theme song, otherwise known as 'Asteroid' by Pete Moore. Toodlepip.

Mon, 10 Oct 2016 18:42:41 +0000
