I Don't Want To Talk Alone

Back again...who would've thought. Michael McKeown and I dissect the year 2022 in music, film and life at large. I scream into the mic and Michael leans back casually.  Highlights include- why film lists are unhelpful, Rom Com star Russell Crowe, special guest Isa cooks us dinner (again)

Welcome back for the first time to the revamped show. Now going under the name I Don't Want to Listen Alone...with Jordan Kaltz, I go deep on a new strand- 'Films that shaped us'. For the first edition I am joined by my father Andrew Kaltz, along with my brother Jake.  Highlights include: Who's wearing trousers? Jewish readings of The Graduate More lore on the lost episode

It's finally time...time to skiff. Michael and I are back in the studio (the zoom studio, that is) to discuss Animal Collective's fresh record Time Skiffs. We let it sink in for a month or two and we are now ready to bare all on our nuanced, smart and clever opinions on this record.  Highlights include:  Titanic: The Ride Michael's never seen Silence of the Lambs Book Corner I Don't Want to Listen Alone A new signing off catchphrase

Michael McKeown and I starred in a film called The Tinder Swindler. It was made by our friend Jean-Mark (JM, Jimmy, Slim Jim). This is the first podcast that people outside of our immediate circle might actually want to listen to!  We pull the curtain back on the Netflix hit documentary The Tinder Swindler as JM (Assistant Producer!!!) gives us the scoop on how this flick got made. Highlights include: JM drinks 3 beers Our best and worst dating app experiences Isa joins us

Ahoy....we set sail once again. This time we are digging into the solo projects of the loveable lad Avey Tare. Yes, Time Skiffs is now out, but whilst it sinks in, Michael and I traverse the highs and lows of Avey, from his first record through to Cows on Hourglass Pond. Highlights include: An interview with Animal Collective (yes!) Initial impressions of Time Skiffs Movie talk Skateboarding games

A special mish mash episode. We talk movies AND Animal Collective. Trey Edward Shults' 2019 film Waves is the topic this week. Why this flick? It features 3 Animal Collective songs, of course! We lay into the feature for a bit with the ever effervescent Isa, and in the second half continue on to talk AC, diving into the colourful bleeps and bloops of the 2016 record Painting With. Highlights include: An opening sequence for the ages Funny needle drops 2016 in music

Welcome back everyone! Sorry it’s been such a long time coming…but we are on the airwaves once more.  With new AC singles being dropped and an album announced for February, we have decided to pull our fingers out and get to the rest of the Discog.  This week we dive into the muddled album Centipede Hz, an album of highs and lows.  Listen to Michael Mckeown and I lay into it and praise it for all it’s worth.    Highlights include:  Centipede Hurts   Autumn Leaves   Segway accidents   Lemmings

Welcome to yet another strand of the podcast. This time, on a special minisode, Isa, Michael and I chat whilst queueing at Thorpe Park. We talk coasters, movies and much more. Highlights include: Me embarrassingly confusing James Wan and James Wong Isa's run in with security Horror films set in theme parks Derren Brown's Ghost Train Merch

We are back! After a little hiatus, me and Michael dig back into the Animal feast, this time taking on the solo projects. In this episode we discuss the first 4 albums of Panda Bear's: Panda Bear, Young Prayer, Person Pitch and Tomboy. This episode sounds good because Michael recorded and edited it so... thank you Michael.  Highlights include: Samuel L Jackson bits  Magnum Ice Cream chat Adrien Brody's embarrassing moments  Michael makes a complex Joanna Newsom joke

Depression is a bummer. I am lucky to have the support of a wife and a best friend to get me through that. This week, after a needed break, Isa, Michael McKeown and I decided to record an episode of us hanging out and eating a delicious Chinese takeaway and review it (as well as catching up). Hope you enjoy. Food from Lee Garden, N19. Highlights include:  Food Film Recommendations Opening up the fly and as always I Don't Want To Listen Alone and Book Corner.
