Podcast #140: Das Boot, Out Of The Woods with Luke Turner, Bowie doc, Ladytron

Episode 140,   Feb 16, 2019, 05:09 AM

On this week’s podcast, ALAAARM! We talk over the stunning re-Boot of sub-sea nerve-wrangler DAS BOOT with our guests, Quietus co-founder LUKE TURNER (left) and pop culture journo MARK HOOPER (right). Does the story of a different U-boat match up to the original and where does it fit into Brexit Britain’s TV schedule?

Plus: Luke Turner talks about his remarkable book ‘Out Of The Woods’, where self-doubt, masculinity, sexuality, Suede and Throbbing Gristle come together in the mysterious depths of Epping Forest. What did we make of the latest and possibly last David Bowie documentary, Finding Fame? The new album from severe electronic Scouse-Scots Hungarian electroids Ladytron. And much, much more. 

Produced and presented by Andrew Harrison and Siân Pattenden. Studio production by Sophie Black. Bigmouth is a Podmasters production.
