In the Lap of the Pods (Queen podcast)

In the Lap of the Pods is a podcast which casts an honest and critical ear over the work of the band Queen.


The team comprises three Glaswegians Paul Moody, David Moody and Joe McGlynn who are passionate about Queen and feel that this wonderful band's music should be discussed more. We give praise to the the four geniuses that are John, Roger, Brian and Freddie but we also stick the boot in when it is required; they don't get any free passes! We hope that you get something out of listening to these podcasts, we certainly have fun making them. You don't have to agree with us either, we sometimes don't agree with each other!


Sheer Heart Attack, A Night at the Opera, A Day at the Races, News of the World, Jazz, The Game, Flash Gordon, Hot Space, The Works, A Kind of Magic, The Miracle, Innuendo
