Radio Clash Live – the Queer History of Pop Part 1
If you didn’t tune in you missed The Search For Tea, The Torch Of Doom, some very strange and triply remixed webcam effects and silliness, some great music (Queer Pop 60s-80’s), and Tim’s 99p Tips – most of which won’t be on the podcast. So neh. If you missed it, it’s gone. Forever. As it…

You had one job…

HAHAHAHA!’* or something. * you can tell I once worked…
