This is a big one. We had a little gap in our schedule so Alan & Andrea decided to get all of their feelings about Elliott Smith down in podcast form. We talk about that voice, those melodies, that guitar playing, the time he and Louis theroux interviewed each other for Select Magazine, his creative partnership with Jon Brion and so much more.

Sidenote: consider this a kind of reverse trigger warning: we don’t talk about any details of Elliott Smith’s death or engage in any speculation around it in this episode.

Here’s the Elliott Smith and Jon Brion show we mention https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK4okHerWeI

and here’s the Elliott Smith/Louis Theroux interview https://selectmagazinescans.monkeon.co.uk/?p=2571

Submitted for the approval of The Midnight Society, Serra Petale and Agustina Ruiz from Los Bitchos join Alan and Sarah for a big ol chat about Nickelodeon’s long-running spooky anthology series Are You Afraid Of The Dark? We talk about our favourite episodes, which ones genuinely traumatised us for life, the importance of a good scare, watching true crime with your mother, Melissa Joan Hart, and lots more.

Serra and Agustina are in Los Bitchos. Their new single La Bomba is out now and they’re on tour in the USA, Canada, UK, and Europe later this year.
