Censoring Two Promoters
With the growing popularity (it's appreciated!) of the pod, some people in the music business are less than delighted with the frank discussions that take place for the listening pleasure of ticket buyers. James was reminded of the fact that not everyone is a fan when he spoke to an irate agent this week. So Gav and James take some time to reflect on the impact of 2 Promoters, 1 Pod and how it's viewed by some people on our side of the fence. Is it possible that they might have a poin...

The To Do List: Damnation
Damnation is on the horizon and the reality of the outstanding to do list is starting to weigh on the team. But what exactly needs to be done before the gates open at BEC Arena in two months' time? Well there's the marquees to order, the cabins to hire, the laminates to get designed and printed, the backline, the crew, the parking, the traders, the radios, the scanners, the merch, wifi, fencing, security, first aid... and will someone think about the bloody towels!? Oh, and the small issue...

Hacking Spotify, Merch Budgets & Battlejackets - Q&A 15
Gav and James plunder the bulging mailbag once more to tackle the topics of the day. Using Oceansize’s Spotify as a publicity stunt. Trying to judge a band’s pull. And the new Deftones record are all on the table. And Gav tries one last time to explain why festivals can’t sell t-shirts for the same price as the local grindcore all-dayer. Tour Tickets We go again, every Thursday morning.

AI Porn & Finding Theo - The ATG Aftermath
We're back with a two-hour slab of 2 Promoters... The 11th ATG is over and it was one for the history books so let's pick over the bones. Did James know that Clown Core would have a video wall crammed with AI dicks? Was VIP oversold or was the festival quieter than usual? And what happens when someone ("Theo") is reported missing the day after the music stops? In true 2P1P fashion, we tear through it all. We go again, every Thursday morning.

Letlive. & Lifesavers - The Trees Review
Despite the insane heat, everything at Trees was going just swimmingly until the final night when there was enough drama for an episode of Eastenders. Musicians passing out, letlive. forcing a show stop and an air ambulance causing absolute panic - for Gav at least - in the backstage bar. James relives the Saturday night madness from an organiser's point of view. And with Rob Scarlett unable to join the call from his holiday home (now planned for next week) Gav and James tackle those pesky...

It's Difficult To Be Gentle With a Pig (Trees Live)
Gav and James take the stage at 2000Trees for the second time, with even more heroes crammed into the sweltering tent on Saturday. How did the scorching sun impact the festival? How did James manage to stay in double denim? And how the hell did pigs invade the site? We most definitely went AGAIN! We go again, every Thursday morning.
