About this listen

What is the Heritage Chart Show? Well, it's an outlet for two things. First of all, our lifelong love of chart rundowns and our desperation to live in a world where they still matter.


It's also an outlet for our fascination with Mike Reed's heritage chart. We're not entirely sure how it’s put together. We don't know exactly what qualifies you for inclusion in the heritage chart and we're not sure we want to know. After all, we didn't really make those demands of the actual top 40 when we were little children, so why should we start now? What we do each week is pick a show at random from the 130+ that have been made thus far and with the help of a very special guest we pick out items of interest, things that excite us and the things that really confuse us…


Presented and produced by Pete Paphides and Siân Pattenden. Theme tune kindly provided by Mike Batt. Audio production by Andy Lewis and with thanks to Soho Radio studios.

    Feb 21 2025
    And... we're back! Welcome to season two of the Heritage Chart Show Show, with your hosts Pete Paphides and Siân Pattenden. This week's special guest is The Loft and Weather Prophet icon Pete Astor. Listen! As Pete navigates the choppy waters of Mike Read's Heritage Chart Show 4th anniversary "live show" special. Presented as a Top of the Pops-style "best of" we see such Heritage Acts as Limahl, Leee John, Paul Young, Owen Paul (of course), The Fizz and a host of other people singing in front of one of Mike's banners. Also! A note from Sir Cliff! What will we think of the 80s cult of leather trousers and our own mortality at the end of this particular show? And you can buy us a coffee to help with studio costs, thank you so much. You can also buy The Loft's album Everything Changes Everything Stays the Same too. Maybe they'll get in the Heritage Chart. Maybe.

    The Heritage Chart Show Show Episode Six
    Sep 12 2024

    On this episode we talk to the exciting musical project that is Hifi Sean and David McAlmont, introducing them to a programme they had never witnessed before... Mike Read's Heritage Chart. Today the artists include: an old Gary Numan track which you probably couldn't release now, Reba McEntire, “Katrina” singing to her poodle, The Wombles, Albert Lee, Mal Pope defying the government (or something), The Automatics, Danielle Nicholls yoga teacher and more.

    At least one track uses the medium of song to say thank you to the people who helped her in life because they’re dead so she can’t tell them in person. Heritage Gold.

    Sean Hifi and David McAlmont's new album Daylight is out now! And if you want to buy us (not them) a virtual coffee, please head to https://www.buymeacoffee.com/peteandsian. Thank you!

Actor Caroline Catz dissects the Heritage Chart as she joins us on a journey of discovery, self-acceptance, bemusement and profundity that accompanies the liminal world of Mike Read's show. On this episode we discuss Deep Purple and their assistants, Pet Shop Boys' infinite sadness, Bill Wyman's double entendre's, Fairground Attraction on a barge, the cognitive dissonance of Right Said Fred, Mungo Jerry and a German interview, Coldplay's panglobal-benicetoeachother-osity, Nick Lowe's party inc. the best party we've ever been to AND Throbbing Gristle.
