Podcasts by Periodical Prattle with Ben
On Periodical Prattle, hosts Ben and Gio delve into a vintage issue of NME Magazine each episode. What has changed or stayed the same in music culture? What news or artists have slipped beneath the cracks in the decades since? Did the band that NME hyped as the second-coming ever actually live up to that praise? Listen to find all of that out and more! The show also features Gio educating Ben on Goth culture, slowly but surely turning this baby-bat into an elder goth.
