S2 EP1: Blur with Josh Widdicombe
Whoo-hoo! There’s no other way we’d like series 2 to kick off than here, talking about Blur with the literal mastermind of the band, seat-seeking Sunday sceptic Josh Widdicombe. Well, here’s our lucky day: after watching/livestreaming/latestreaming the the new album at the (yes please) Hammersmith Apollo, we tuck into the Ballad of Darren, the jealousy of Tim and the price of Phil. We have pigged the Blur gig that we thought we’d never pig, and this is barbaric!

More from Gig Pigs with Ivo Graham and Alex Kealy
"Out of the water! I can hear the Fratellis coming on!" Another trip in the toe-curling time-machine to a criminally ignored Swiss music festival from the late noughties, where Alex dexterously unlocks Ivo's phone and his past to torture him with a spec review that could have been published in the NME if it was good enough, which we know of course it may not be. Next week: Alex's review of the European Youth Parliament! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The Thursday Mercury Club is in retrograde mode this week, as the godfather of social media knockout formats and the suedebrother of the award’s second ever winners joins us to discuss chocolate, confetti cannons, and what really is the best British album of the perfectly divisible 1992-2023 era.
You want ANOTHER pod about the Wild God? We’ll give you one. Ivo’s picket-crossing Cavemania dogs to new moustachioed depths as he summons Alex and his fellow Wheels of Love (language) to one of the most bell-ringing, plate-spinning fan events of all time. Psychedelic conversations of Maths Pigs’ leap year calculations, we give to you! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
A blast from our patreon past (Nov 2023), in partial honour of Matt Berninger’s tour announcement - we’ll be back next week with a new ep!
Who is the Tom Skinner of Gig Pigs? What is a homunculus? And what did Alex’s mum actually say at his 18th? All these questions and more answered in a thrillingly thinly disguised promo for Ivo’s book (May 22), in an episode that we thought would be out in January, and now features some very out of date Radiohead speculation.
