This month we try something new. Goodfellas is memorable for a lot of reasons; the performances, the music, the swearing - but also for the food! Aidan McCaffery (writer of the Quizmasters and Jon Starkey, MP in Space podcasts) joins us to cook the famous prison meatballs from Goodfellas, test out the razor-blade garlic trick and chat over this landmark of cinema.

Singer, Songwriter, Activist and educator of young minds; Nix Nugent joins us to talk about the pop culture that interests and inspires her going right from 99 Red Balloons through the movies of Lars Von Trier. We're also lucky enough to have an exclusive play of her most recent track: Ophelia.

Francesca Peschier returns for a bonus Halloween-Special podcast. What better subject for Halloween than the TV show that turned horror tropes inside out (like some sort of serial killer that hunts down tropes because a couple of tropes killed it's parents 20 years to the day...) Buffy the Vampire Slayer. We glance over the history, the politics and the ill-advised solo albums of one of the most seminal TV shows of the most awkward period in pop culture: the late-nineties/early-noughties. As always, please come and find us on the internets: www.twitter.com/pcultradio www.facebook.com/popcultureradioshow

The Great British Bake Off – a quintessentially British hotbed of pageantry, pastry and infectious enthusiasm. Francesca Peschier and Miranda Garrett joined us to watch the Quarter Finals (Dough week!) and unpick the fine filo layers of culture and examine the sweet academic fondant beneath. Or at least that was the plan and then we had a bunch of cheese and wine in preparation and it all went rapidly downhill…..

This month we are joined by bluesman and motorcycle enthusiast Anton Shelupanov to talk about Sons of Anarchy which started it's seventh and final series this week. We also have a wide ranging discussion of bikes in pop culture from Easy Rider to Grease 2 via Hunter S Thompson. The Pop Culture Radio Show is presented by Nigel Doylerush (and is normally Produced by Sarah Corke but because I did it this month there are a load of mic issues in the first half - sorry about that). It goes out live at 8pm on the first weds of the month on Kilburn to Kensall Radio.

Andy Hobbs (Theatre director, mastermind behind Guerilla Shakespeare and presenter of the Facsimile Arts Radio Show.) joins us to chat about his favourite corner of cinema: the creature-feature. We chart the evolution of this cinematic form from Godzilla in the 1960s right up to the modern heights of Sharknado 2 and offer some unsolicited advice to Edgar Wright (because of course he's listening) in his first foray into the creature-feature: Grasshopper Jungle. The Pop Culture Radio Show is presented by Nigel Doylerush and produced by Sarah Corke. It goes out live (with all the music we have to leave out for the podcast) at 8pm on the first weds of the month on Kilburn to Kensall Radio.

Pop Culture Radio Show ep12 In a week where Dolly Parton fairly decidedly won Glastonbury - bringing more people to the Pyramid stage in the 5pm slot than any of the headliners could manage - Francesca Peschier (Academic and editor of the JAWS Journal of Arts Writing by Students) talks to us about Dolly and the many colourful, strong women that sang Country.

Pop Culture Radio Show ep11 This month we're talking about physical media. Is there any space left in our hearts and on our shelves for physical versions of albums, films, TV and books when it's all available to stream or download? Vinyl seems to be the one outlier that is holding on to it's sales figures and one man who is just about to add to those is James from progressive metal outfit: Miroist. He joins us to chat about the future of they physical format and the ones that manage to keep a hold over us. For more information on Miroist and links to download his album digitally for free go to the website - http://miroist.com/ The Pop Culture Radio Show is presented by Nigel Doylerush and produced by Sarah Corke.
