Today's episode is about "Scott Walker: 30 Century Man", from 2006, directed by Stephen Kijak. Our guest today is Zara Hedderman, who listens to albums & writes (mostly) & talks (sometimes) about them in The Quietus, Aquarium Drunkard, Northern Transmissions, RTÉ Arena, and The IMRO Podcast. The movie is about Scott Walker, who evolved from a 50s & 60s teen idol to an enigmatic avant-garde icon whose music pushed the boundaries of space, time, and sanity. For years, nobody knew much about him. Then this documentary came out and revealed that he was actually kind of a chill dude.

To wrap up the year, we look back at the cultural highlights of 2023 and look forward to what is to come in 2024 in films, books, TV and music with our panel of experts John Maguire, Sinéad Gleeson, Jenn Gannon and Zara Hedderman.

To call Taylor Swift simply a pop singer is to miss the point. She's a one woman global phenomenon; the 34 year-old is the first musician ever to become a billionaire solely based on her songs and performances. And yet it's her relatability that her fans love so much. When her Eras Tour hits town – any town – its economic impact is so powerful that a new word has been coined: Swiftenomics. In 2024 she'll be bringing it to Ireland, to Croke Park. So how did it happen for the pop queen who started out as a teenager singing country. Music journalist Zara Hedderman explains just why Time magazine named Taylor Swift its person of the year and how she has become, what it calls, “the main character of the world”. Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The stakes are high for Ed Sheeran this week in a Manhattan courtroom.
