There's plenty of festive energy left with Stuart Maconie and guests in the Loose Ends twixtmas studio:Taskmaster champion Maisie Adams tells us how she got in touch with her previously hidden competition-demon on the show, her highly-flammable competition outfit and that nailbiting finish, as well as revving up for a new tour in 2026. ITV's hit drama Red Eye is back for a second season on New Year's Day and its star Jing Lusi tells us about reprising her role as the kickboxing DI Hanna Li. She thinks DI Li would not approve of her penchant for Romcoms and fitness avoidance. And Radio 3's Elizabeth Alker outlines how rock and pop musicians from The Beatles to Radiohead to Manic Street Preachers owe a debt to classical music with tales from her new book Everything We Do Is Music. She also has tales of her rockstar Yorkshire terrier Terry who rules the roost at her house in December and well, all year round really.Plus inspiring music for the turning of the year from Thea Gilmore and from Carly Mercedes Dyer singing You Are My Lucky Star from the musical Singing in the Rain.Producer: Olive Clancy Assistant producer: Sam Nixon Technical producers: John Cole & John Benton Production coordinator: Pete Liggins

Timestamp to skip the intro: (11:00) Welcome back to another episode of the True Crime Society Podcast. In this episode we discuss two separate cases of missing celebrities: Joseph Pichler was a child star, best known for his roles in films such as Varsity Blues, Beethoven's 3rd and Beethoven's 4th. In 2006, Joseph's vehicle was found abandoned in Washington State with a note indicating that his belongings should go to his brother. Now, 19 years later, Joseph remains missing. Musician Richey Edwards was part of the British band ‘Manic Street Preachers.' Richey had a documented history of mental health and addiction struggles. Once when he was questioned about being serious about his music, he carved the words ‘4 Real' into his arm with a razor blade. The injury required 18 stitches. In February 2005, Richey was due to leave London to fly to the United States to begin a press tour. Instead, he left behind some of his belongings in his hotel and drove back to his apartment in Cardiff, Wales. Over the next few weeks, there were reported sightings of Richey in that country. His car would later be found abandoned near a bridge. Reported sightings of Richey have come from India and Spain. Richey has now been missing for over 20 years. Read our blog for these cases - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2025/12/15/missing-celebrities-joe-pichler-and-richey-edwards/ We will be taking next week off from the podcast to spend the holiday with our families.

On a grey February morning in 1995, one of rock's most enigmatic voices stepped out of a London hotel room - and into one of music's most enduring mysteries. The Manic Street Preachers' lyricist - Richey Edwards - brilliant, fragile, and beloved - left behind a life heavy with pressure and pain. After his disappearance, his car was found near the Severn Bridge, a place weighted with symbolism and sorrow. Richey himself was gone. No sightings. No answers. Just a trail that stops cold on the border between England and Wales. Listen as we dive into the Britpop Era of London, the case of Richey Edwards, and how to stay alive on vacation.

This month we travel back to a banger of a year for our favourite songs of 1992, including proto-post rock, hiphop classics, industrial metal, and enough shoegaze to open a branch of Specsavers opposite a branch of Foot Locker.We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over to Colin's wife Helen, who put the playlists together and distributed them so we were each given a playlist of the 20 songs from the other two hosts, along with our own 10. We then ranked the playlists in order of preference and sent them back to Helen, who totalled up the points and worked out the order.She also joined us on the episode to read out the countdown, which we found out as we recorded so all reactions are genuine.Now, admittedly, in parts we're a little bit brutal to some of the songs in the list as we're three separate people with differing music tastes, but please remember that to be in this episode at all the songs have to have been in one of our top 10's of that year.Bands featured in this episode include (In alphabetical order, no spoilers here!) -Alice In Chains, Tori Amos, Biohazard, Buffalo Tom, The Cure, Del Amitri, Drop Nineteens, The God Machine, Juliana Hatfield, Helmet, House Of Pain, Ice Cube, The Lemonheads, Manic Street Preachers, Medicine, Ministry, Moonshake, Nine Inch Nails, Pavement, PJ Harvey, The Prodigy, Rage Against The Machine, Red House Painters, Shakespeare's Sister, The Shamen, Sleep, The Smashing Pumkins, Sugar, Therapy?, & White Zombie.

The scoring of our own list of 10 is now slightly more complicated in order to give a truer level of points to our own favourites. So rather than them only being able to score as many points as our 10th favourite in the other list, the points in our own list were distributed as follows -1st place - 20 points2nd place - 18 points3rd place – 16 points4th place – 14 points5th place – 12 points6th place – 9 points7th place – 7 points8th place – 5 points9th place – 3 points10th place -1 pointHosts - Ian Clarke, Colin Jackson-Brown & Tracey BGuest starring Helen Jackson-Brown.Playlist compiling/distributing – Helen Jackson-BrownRecorded/Edited/Mixed/Original Music by Colin Jackson-Brown for We Dig PodcastsThanks to Peter Latimer for help with the scoring system.Part of the We Dig Podcasts network along with Free With This Months Issue & Pick A Disc.Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/wedigmusic.bsky.socialInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wedigmusicpcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/wedigpusicpcast/Find our other episodes & podcasts at www.wedigpodcasts.com

For this episode — the first to feature RBP's editorial co-ordinator William Pike — we're joined by Melody Maker legend Simon Price for a discussion of his career, his championing of Manic Street Preachers, and Radiohead's first tour since 2018. Beginning in the South Wales town of Barry, we hear about Simon's boyhood, his formative pop passions and the first of his distinctive sartorial metamorphoses. He recalls his late '80s move to London and the years at Melody Maker that took in his first interviews with fellow Welshmen the Manics and his integral involvement in the Neo-glam sub-genre known as Romo. Our guest's review of the first Radiohead album provides the cue for clips from Amy Linden's 1997 audio interview with Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood. We hear Thom talking about the just-released OK Computer and about his beef with Melody Maker itself: this prompts a general discussion of the band's standing as they prepare for the first date of their European tour. After reflecting on the 13 years he spent reviewing gigs for the Independent on Sunday, Simon discusses the gestation of 2021's Curepedia, the "Cure A-Z" he assembled for White Rabbit books. We conclude the episode with tributes to jazz drummer Jack DeJohnette and keyboardist David Ball, phlegmatic foil to Soft Cell frontman Marc Almond. Many thanks to special guest Simon Price. Curepedia: An A–Z of the Cure is published by White Rabbit and available from all good bookshops. Pieces discussed: Articles, interviews and reviews from Simon Price, Manic Street Preachers: Drags to Riches, Radiohead: Pablo Honey, Radiohead audio (1997), Jack DeJohnette: More Than One Way, Soft Cell: Cell Division and The Tainted Life of Soft Cell
Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 29ú lá de mí Mheán Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1978 bhí na Gardaí ag féachaint I gcóir duine a raibh ag goid carr I mBaile Átha Cliath agus rinne siad iarracht Garda a mharú. I 1989 thug an Eagraíocht Leighis Éireannach sac chuig a ardrúnaí. I 2003 bhí Moyle Rovers an chéad chlub a chun dhá chraobhchomórtas an chontae sa ghrád chéanna a bhuachaint. Bhuaigh siad I gcoinne Lorrha sa Mhion C agus bhuaigh siad chomh maith sa Mhion A. I 2012 dhún teach tábhairne Éireannach is cáiliúla sa Téalainn darbh ainm The Dubliner. Bhí an úinéir John Kealy ón Aonach Urmhumhan agus bhí cóisir mhór acu. D'oscail Dennis Taylor an teach tábhairne I 2000 agus bhí rath mór air. I rith cúpla bhliain bhuaigh siad a lán gradam cócaireachta, chabhraigh siad le a lán carthanas agus bhí sé áit I gcóir na ndaoine a raibh ag teacht ó Éirinn. Sin Simply Red le Fairground – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1995. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1990 chuaigh Maria McKee chuig uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain lena hamhrán Show Me Heaven. Bhí an t-amhrán sa scannán Days Of Thunder le Tom Cruise. I 1999 fuair The Manic Street Preachers bille de 28 míle punt tar éis a bhris siad an trealamh I smidiríní I rith an cheolchoirm ag T In The Park. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Ian McShane sa Bhreatain I 1942 agus rugadh amhránaí Hasley I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1994 agus seo chuid de amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 29th of September, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1978: a full scale search was going on in Dublin for a car theif who attemptd to kill a young Garda 1989: The Irish Medical Organisation yesterday sacked its secretary general. 2003 - Moyle Rovers created history by becoming the first club to win two County Championships in the same grade by beating a gutsy Lorrha team in the Minor 'C' County Football Final. In adding this title to the Minor "A" Football title won, Moyle Rovers completed a notable double. 2012 – Thailand's most famous Irish pub, The Dubliner, owned by Nenagh man John Kealy, pulled its last Guinness and Kilkenny and shut shop, but not without a farewell party that rocked the entire neighbourhood. The pub was officially opened in May 2000 by former World Snooker Champion Dennis Taylor and became an instant success. Over the years, it won many coveted culinary awards, helped many charities, and became an Irish landmark for all Irish and European visitor That was Simply Red with Fairground – the biggest song on this day in 1995 Onto music news on this day In 1990 Maria McKee was at No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'Show Me Heaven' the song featured in the Tom Cruise film 'Days Of Thunder'. 1999 The Manic Street Preachers were given a bill for £28.000 after smashing up equipment during their show at Scotland's T In The Park festival.

I 1978 bhris daoine isteach chuig scoil St Anne's in Inis dhá uair. Bhris siad fuinneoga agus trealamh.

Sin Simply Red le Fairground – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1995. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1990 chuaigh Maria McKee chuig uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain lena hamhrán Show Me Heaven. Bhí an t-amhrán sa scannán Days Of Thunder le Tom Cruise. I 1999 fuair The Manic Street Preachers bille de 28 míle punt tar éis a bhris siad an trealamh I smidiríní I rith an cheolchoirm ag T In The Park. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Ian McShane sa Bhreatain I 1942 agus rugadh amhránaí Hasley I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1994 agus seo chuid de amhrán.

Owen Hatherley returns to discuss his New Left Review article on the Welsh guitar band, the Manic Street Preachers. We talked about the particular appeal the group seemed to hold for working class kids from non-metropolitan backgrounds in the 1990s, and about the forbearance and occasional embarrassment that is the lot of fans who've followed their work in the subsequent decades. We also talked about why such an avowedly left wing and politicised group have shown such little regard for contemporary left movements such as the Corbyn moment in the UK.

Medicine 8 are back. The project of brothers Liam and Luke May started around 30 years ago in their South London stomping ground. Their sound, which blended electro and acid house with rock sensibilities, saw the pair release a healthy string of records all the way through to the late noughties, along with a handful of remixes for the likes of Orbital, Manic Street Preachers, Nirvana and pop royalty Kylie Minogue. Medicine 8 has been lying dormant over the last decade but Liam and Luke have been keeping themselves busy in the interim. As well as running Trashmouth Records - the label responsible for bringing you Fat White Family, MEATRAFFLE and Warmduscher - the pair have been keeping the hardware dream alive with Decius, the sleazy acid house outfit they founded alongside Paranoid London's Quinn Whalley and Lias Saudi, long running label mate and frontman of the Fat Whites. In April the duo marked their first new music since 2016 with a remix of May Lavie's ‘The Poem' for our R$N sub-label Human Endeavour. The request from label boss Rosie Ama has now jerked the project back into action and, since the release of the remix, the pair have got back in the studio under the moniker and are now giving Decius tracks a Medicine 8 make over. Looks like this won't be the last we'll be seeing of the project… To celebrate this triumphant return, boy have we got a treat for you. Luke and Liam have kindly put together a two-hour long 100% Medicine 8 production mix, packed with tracks from the archive, unreleased music, banging remixes and new releases...
Tom Sheehan was born in Camberwell, South London. He was an in-house photographer for CBS Records in the 70s, and went on to be the chief photographer for Melody Maker. He enjoyed long-term working relationships with the likes of REM, The Cure, Manic Street Preachers, and Oasis, the subject of a new book of Tom's work entitled “Roll With It: Oasis in Photographs 1994-2002”. I had a great time chatting with Tom about his life and work, and I hope you enjoy it too.
