S02 E25: Spiral Steps

It's the second part of the final ever episode of The Pavement Conundrum... Paul, Chris, Mark and Emre hear from guests Clare Wilde, Craig Angus and Steve Alexander before revealing the final results of the jury. Which Pavement classic will be the one to solve The Pavement Conundrum? Thanks for listening! We're on Twitter: @ConundrumPod

After what feels like centuries, the members of the podcast reconvene in a bid to finally solve The Pavement Conundrum. In the first part of the final, Paul, Mark, Chris and Emre catch up after a long break and hear from absent (with good reason) co-host Duncan as well as friends of the pod, Joseph Goss and Eddy Walsh.There's a lot to cover but which song will take first place?Part 2 will follow very soon indeed.Follow us on Twitter: @ConundrumPod

It's the penultimate episode of The Conundrum and Paul, Chris and Duncan run the Pavement Gauntlet in order to get closer to the final. Full disclosure: this gauntlet idea was a mistake. If anyone out there understands it, please let us know as we could really use help. Please help us.At least we know that numbers make the world go round. See you in the final.

It's the first semi final of The Conundrum and Paul has made sweeping changes to the format. GONE are Chris and Duncan... but just for Part 1. They will eventually replace Mark and Emre who join Paul to undertake the most complicated and frustratingly stupid exercise yet attempted on this podcast. There's on air admin, constantly changing rules and, for some reason, dirty things. Which songs will stake their claim to make it to the final of The Pavement Conundrum? Elsewhere, Mark has a date with Ikea, Emre is still at a Godspeed gig and Paul just feels a normal amount rich. Look out for Part 2 in the next few weeks with Chris and Duncan.Follow us on Twitter: @ConundrumPod

Howdy! Step into the Get Out of Jail Saloon because it's the last chance for a handful of these wonderful Pavement songs and your old pals are here to sling you some bourbon and talk crap about stupid nonsense. Chris is celebrating Black Cat Appreciation Day, Mark has just scored a hat trick of goals agains a 9-year-old girl and Paul is living among the creatures of the night. Fortunately, Conundrum icons Emre Ramadan and Duncan Robertson are here to distract proceedings with analysis of certain members of Pavement's... eh... members and contribute to this whole food packaging thing that Mark is obsessed with. Thank goodness Chris is here with on point Simpsons references but how many times can you watch Some Kind of Monster?You only get two or may be three chances to make a first impression.

Life gets in the way, folks... however, after a short break (not that any of you were counting), the boys are back in Pavement town to rattle through the remaining matchups in the second round. Friend of the podcast Duncan Robertson returns, armed with some of the best insight you'll hear on a music podcast as the Gang of Four go through the remaining twenty Pavement classics. Elsewhere, Mark has an issue with smell pollution, Chris is desperate to go back and play Kid Chameleon and Paul's no longer at the Pavement Brink. Listen to hear which song could win the whole damn thing and what song is the winner of The House of Pain Conundrum. The podcast is on Twitter (@ConundrumPod) but you'd might as well just tweet Mark to be honest (@themarkedwards).

After the drama of the previous episode, Paul has turned up sober and has a very important question for his co-hosts. Elsewhere, Chris has yet another appointment he needs to get to and Mark keeps talking about cowboys. Fortunately friend of the show, Clare Wilde is on hand to help the three idiots make sense of eight more Pavement songs. If you're interested in Pavement Conundrum NFS, learning who Chris and Mark's least favourite lawyer is and hearing what Paul thinks about the crime statistics of Linden, California, this is the podcast for you. Remember, if you meet Chris and Mark at Primavera, leave Chris alone. (Mark would like to sell you a signed photo.)

The Conundrum returns after a short break and there's no easy way to explain this episode other than: Paul drank too many beers, Chris just wants to get to his bed and Mark hates Picard Season 2. Fortunately, friend of the podcast Eddy Walsh is on hand to share some wonderfully intricate thoughts on eight more Pavement songs as we move through the second phase of The Conundrum. Elsewhere, Mark needs mass sympathy please, Paul has invented some dumb method and Chris feels like he's driving a runaway train. Follow us on Twitter, but please don't tweet at us (we'll explain why later): @ConundrumPod.

It's the inaugural Conundrum Summit and a chance for Paul, Mark and Chris to drill down into the Conundrum data to see how well the podcast is performing and, more importantly, how Mark and Chris are performing. There are performance reviews, calls from the listeners and a Pavement Quiz... with devastating consequences. All that plus some chat around Pavement covers and your chance to hear the only episode in existence of THE PAVEMENT EQUATION. Follow us on Twitter: @ConundrumPod

Paul, Mark and Chris welcome back honorary member of The Conundrum, Emre Ramadan for this, their silver wedding anniversary episode of the podcast. There's a lot to discuss today including eight more Pavement songs, four of which gotta go...
