Dave and Rob have the same dad. Only they didn’t meet until Rob was 16 ... and Dave was a lot older. That’s a lot of life to catch up on. And music – because whatever else they had in common, these long-lost brothers quickly realised they both really bloody loved music. So, many years after that fateful first meeting – and separated by 1,000km – the estranged siblings launched this podcast. It’s super simple: every episode one brother introduces an album they love, that the other doesn’t know at all. They talk about what it means, and what it meant to them. Then at the end, the other brother selects the next episode’s subject … and, repeat. Welcome, then, to a podcast about some music that at least one of us is convinced Your Brother Should Know. And you probably should, too.
