About this Podcast:
Strange Currencies, every Thursday from 8pm till 10 with Connor and Rob. We play new, interesting and often unusual music from all corners of the globe. Each week we bring in something we've been reading and we have a chat about it. We discuss novels, poems, short stories, literary criticism, music journalism; basically, everything is fair game. Our conversations often take us into deep waters - intellectually and emotionally - and there are times when we don’t make the swim to the distant shore of understanding.
