Episode 9 – #42 – An Ill-Fated Name

Welcome to Fifty by Two, a podcast about music where two friends with very different tastes count down their top fifty albums.

It’s Transfer Deadline Day, and we get distracted for a while lamenting the absence of Harry Redknapp leaning out of a Range Rover. Glen visits an old friend, and James steps outside of his demographic.

Did you know? We are also available on Spotify, Google Podcasts, Deezer, and other places? If you listen to podcasts elsewhere and can’t find us, let us know in the comments and we’ll see what we can do.
