Martha - Hope Gets Harder from the 2022 album Please Don't Take Me Back on Specialist Subject. British pop-punkers Martha have been spreading messages of anarchy since 2014 when they released their debut album Courting Strong. They've dropped three more records since, with the latest being this year's Please Don't Take Me Back. The record proves that the band from a small town called Pity Me continue to pity no one, especially the Powers That Be controlling the state of the UK. Our Song of the Day, “Hope Gets Harder,” hones in on this idea, targeting the rich and powerful who are killing hope and optimism at a rapid rate. “Drain the blood from every diamond /On this damp and hateful island,” they cry over a sprititedly brisk riff before closing the song with the pointed claim, “Every day the hope gets harder/ England is a funeral parlor.” In a lengthy statement about the song, the band don't mince words on what they mean by that: “‘Hope Gets Harder' is a song about England: a uniquely fucking terrible idea,” the band said in a statement. “A place governed by the most absurdly mediocre people in history. Selfish, rich, thick, malevolent ghouls propped up by a bootlicking, self-congratulating, stenographic, client-journalist news media that puts North Korea to shame. England is a grey, damp artifice, vibrating to a quasi-fascist background hum, where the majority live miserable hopeless lives, so that a tiny minority can live in extravagant luxury. As we lurch violently from one crisis to the next, it feels like the light of any hope for the future is slowly dying. But we have to try and find hope in one another, and together we have to fight like hell for a more socially and ecologically just world. No fate but what we make for ourselves. Abolish england. Fuck the king.” Watch the cleverly illustrated music video for “Hope Gets Harder” by Nathan Stephens-Griffin and read the full post at KEXP.org.Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As broadcast on January 25, 2022 with plenty of tension for your podcast studio session.  Tonight we remembered when Aretha recorded her first big hit 55 years prior at Muscle Shoals studios.  During the session, there was seemingly a bit of tension with Aretha's husband at the time, resulting in a fight.  The aftermath of the session is rather amazing, as Muscle Shoals became a destination and Aretha had her first big hit, but the two would never cross paths again.  With it being Tuesday, we welcomed Prince Paolo back to the studio, and he has a lot of good stuff in tow with new joints out from Basement Revolver, Kindsight, Far West, and many, many other worthy artists.#feelthegravityTracklisting:Part I (00:00)Aretha Franklin – I Never Loved A ManBasement Revolver – Circlesslenderbodies – chamomileScarlet Rae – Seems Like ForeverSPARKLING – Not The Right PlaceMagic City Hippies – High Above The Sun Part II (32:22)Rheinzand - ElefantasiThe Undercover Dream Lovers - Come A Little CloserStay Lunar - Keeping Me Up All NightMy Life as a Moth - Electro JunctionSimen Mitlid - DNAKindsight - Sun Is Always In My Eyes Part III (62:25)Underground Witch Rock - GhostwriterWicked Games – ToskaFar West - It Feels NewJosh Long - Last JuneBeck Pete - SoftiePinc Wafer - 0 % Part IV (93:51)No Suits in Miami - The Robins SangDON'T WORRY - Heads ChockaLola Kirke - Better Than Any DrugEllen Ive Ove - LA SummerChris Jobe – NostalgiaFolly Tree - On & On (feat iogi)

Computer gaming - it's for boys only, right? Wrong! And yet, history hasn't been kind to the gamer community, especially in terms of gender discrimination. Instead of laying blame, maybe it's time to look at whether the games themselves are contributing towards a culture. Contrarah enlists the help of Dr Esther Wright (https://twitter.com/EstherWrigh_) whose recent PhD delves deep into stereotypes within the historical Rockstar Games universe. Listen as they discuss campfire confessionals, seedy underbellies and the lack of trans representation, as well as the world's most lit photography assignment. We're pausing on episodes for a while so that the team can bring you even more content, thank you SO MUCH for listening to this season. Shout out to all of our kind and talented guests and to the audio genius of Andrew Evans (https://twitter.com/AndrewDEvans) And to all you murdering psychopathic gun-toting outlaws...just pass that weapon to a nearby female (or non-binary if you can find em) NPC, she can handle herself too.

Amber Hunt, Amanda Rossman, Elizabeth Andes. Madeleine Baran, Parker Yesko, Bertha Tardy. Liliana Segura, Jordan Smith, Donna Brown. You might not know their names. All women. All important. Listen to find out why. Bad things happen to women every day, and women are doing invaluable work to make the world a better place. We get to be a part of the process through the power of audio. Contrarah makes the case for true crime pods, but not all true crime media is the same.

Getting a film made is a huge undertaking. And the vast majority of films are produced and directed by men. So when we heard that Stefanie Davis had written. directed and produced her own feature, we hunted her down and begged her to share her secrets! Stefanie and Contrarah go into detail about the path to filmmaking, Stefanie's championing of the 'survival job' and how her gender has both nothing and everything to do with how and why she made her movie. In case you thought that we were criticising Stefanie's work(!), the title of the movie is Hot Mess in a Wedding Dress. Watch it here: vimeo.com/ondemand/hotmessinaweddingdress Congratulate Stefanie here: @HotMessMovie & @gypsyfilmmaker Oh, and always check the weather report!

Can you hear us? Our season opener and first 'Specialist Subject' episode is all about sound. ADR and sound production specialist Emma Butt takes us through her career and influences, and gives invaluable advice for anyone who also wants to be a sound specialist. She is funny and self-deprecating. That sounds perfect to us! Find out more about Emma at www.emmabuttsound.com/ and by tweeting @EmmaButtSound Speak to us @Beyond_Bechdel or beyondbech@gmail.com

To be honest, one of the reasons I started doing Random Old Records Podcast again was because I was so close to episode #50 when I went on my hiatus. To be so close to that milestone when I gave it up never really sat well with me. Well, here we are, and I'll probably do another 50 before I'm done.In that spirit, there's no looking back in this episode. No compilation of the "best" songs I've ever played or the best in-between bits I've scavenged and put together. They're all supposed to be the best anyway, right? Soon all of the old episodes will be back online and then you'll be free to check those out any time. If you scroll down, you'll see that episodes #2 and #3 are back online for the first time in years. Episode #3 features a run of classic Dischord Records jams from Void, Embrace, and The Make-Up, while episode #2 takes a trip from The Rezillos to The Gun Club to The Lovin' Spoonful ("6' O'Clock", what a song!). Don't forget to check back frequently to the Podcast Archive below for more old episodes.Anyway, episode #50 contains nearly an hour's worth of songs that have never been played on Random Old Records before, kicking off with the opening track of La Sera's amazing 2014 album Hour Of The Dawn, and also featuring the opening track off the brand new La Sera album, which isn't quite amazing but is still really, really good. You'll also hear grungy punk jams from Fleabite, Sports, and Personal Best, classic power pop from Zombies frontman Colin Blunstone, a hot modern disco track from Pharoahs featuring Maria Minerva, and a closing monster of a track: Catwoman Eartha Kitt taking on "Hurdy Gurdy Man" by Donovan and leaving no prisoners!Stream the episode in the player below, or go HERE directly to stream or download.

What are the trends in specialist factual television and how do they get commissioned? How do you choose your talent and what do broadcasters want? In this session, recorded at the the BBC Academy's Fast Train event in Glasgow, October 2013, Craig Hunter, executive producer for BBC Scotland, Ross Wilson, creative director for Matchlight, Ed Crick, creative director at Tern TV, and Anne Laking, head of specialist factual at STV discuss the current and next big things in factual production. The discussion is chaired by BBC Radio Scotland presenter Kaye Adams.
