The Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess is returning for a second series of his podcast.
Tim’s Listening Party hears from guest artists, sharing stories and insights about their seminal albums. The eight-part series is also broadcast on Absolute Radio.
Guests on the first series included Fall Out Boy, U2’s the Edge and Skin from Skunk Anansie with The Observer’s Miranda Sawyer commenting about the show that ‘any band would kill to get their LP played and treated with such respect’.
As a podcast, Tim’s Listening Party was the Number One Music Podcast in the UK, Ireland, New Zealand and Spain as well as being the Top Music Podcast on Spotify UK.
Sparks begin the second series discussing The Girl is Crying in her Latte with Matt Johnson from The The on Soul Mining, Lloyd Cole on Rattlesnakes and Haim talking about Days Are Gone to come.
Tim Burgess says: “The response to the first series of The Listening Party has been brilliant and it’s exciting to be back on Absolute Radio with series two. We’ve got some incredible artists and brilliant albums coming up and I can’t wait to share them with listeners.”
Absolute Radio’s Content Director, Paul Sylvester adds, “We knew that Tim’s Listening Party would be a great fit with Absolute Radio’s specialist and storytelling strategy and the success of series one showed that brilliantly.
“The access to artists talking about songs and albums that are woven into listeners lives makes this show a must listen for music fans and we can’t wait to get series two out there.”
Tim’s Listening Party launches this Sunday, 23 July at 10pm on Absolute Radio and will also be available as a podcast on the station’s website or wherever you get your podcasts.
