The Afterword Podcast


This is GLK London calling the world...an audio companion to theafterword.co.uk

The sound of the waifs and strays of the Word magazine blog (RIP), musing along the byways of popular culture. We blather, you listen — that’s the deal.

Welcome to Zoo Station

Let the Bono bitching commence! Representatives of the 7 families in Ireland - Pat Carty, Springer Bell & the mighty Vorgongod plus (trying to get a word in edgeways) Leedsboy and your moderator \ referee DFB who attempts to take a contrary stance due to the last minute exit of the anti-Bono, Ganglesprocket. This includes throwing in a few opinions that are meant to rile so don't get fished in.

Among the high points were

- U2 as a socio-political cyclone during the 1980's
- The new album: any good and is it marketing success story?
- Is the reaction to U2 for ver haterz akin to racism?
- Ganglesprocket's fence sitting email in full
- Rattle & Hum: Is taht when the cool kids checked out and does it fucking matter?

He may have a Messiah complex but he's not a naughty boy
