002: We Need To Talk About Hearing
</h5>
<div class="text-line-clamp text-line-clamp-3 balanced-p fs-8 text-muted text-break">
This week, Merlin, Eleanor and Luke are discussing the world&#39;s overreaction to the Reading &amp; Leeds lineup, the most bizarre British supergroups we can think of, and why nobody is seriously talking about hearing loss in the rock and metal scene.

We also have an exclusive interview with Judas Priest&#39;s Rob Halford and Ian Hill following Glenn Tipton&#39;s Parkinson&#39;s diagnosis.
