151: AVENGERS: ENDGAME, Soft Cell’s Dave Ball, Vampire Weekend and more

It’s an epic-length BIGMOUTH this week. First we welcome special guest DAVE BALL to our appropriately subterranean Soho lair to talk about Soft Cell’s one-off (?) reunion and his new memoir of life in pop’s sleaziest duo. Then Dave and guest MARTIN ASTON stick around as we look at BBC2’s THE LOOMING TOWER – can a doggedly factual 9/11 intelligence drama work and how soon is too soon? – and check out the fourth album by well-heeled New York ethnomusicologists VAMPIRE WEEKEND. And then it’s spoiler time as geek squad members LINDA MARRIC and MICHAEL MORAN join us to dissect AVENGERS: ENDGAME. Who lives? Who dies? What did it all mean? All will be revealed in a conversation that you definitely should NOT listen to unless you’ve already seen the movie. What do you mean, you haven’t already seen the movie…? Produced and presented by Andrew Harrison and Siân Pattenden. Studio production by Sophie Black.
