The Bell Friction Podcast

It's a simple concept. Three lads get together each week to discuss the latest news, sport and culture... Looking for a unique selling point? You won't find one. Irreverence, subversive humour and fiercely-held, ineffectively-substantiated opinions, a familiar mix brought to life by that classic Bell Friction chemistry. Download it and life itself will be illuminated
