For the first time on our main feed, we present to you The WIM Album Club, with an episode we released on our Patreon last December.

The episode is a classic WIM deep-dive into the album What's Going On by Marvin Gaye and features all of the usual discussion, analysis, commentary, history, insight, and tangents you've come to expect from the podcast.

If you enjoyed this episode, head over to our Patreon to hear more episodes on a range of different artists, in different genres, from different countries and eras. Going to https://www.patreon.com/whatismusicpod and subscribing at the Bigger Mates tier or higher will get you instant access to all of the Album Club episodes we've released so far. That's just £5 a month!

It also gives you the opportunity to submit your own choice of albums for possible future episodes, and means you can get involved in the discussion!

The Big Mates discuss Spirited Away, underwater photography, deer vocalisations, and HIT ME HARD AND SOFT by Billie Eilish.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas return to the subject of their third season and explore Eilish's third studio album, released in 2024.

They talk about the writing and recording process, the context surrounding the albums, and offer up analysis, opinions, and thoughts from three differing perspectives on music, from being deeply into analysis and music, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between.

How has Billie evolved? How was Tom Cruise involved? What's the difference between a book and novel? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out Monday May 19th, and will continue and conclude the deep-dive into HIT ME HARD AND SOFT!

The Big Mates discuss ticket buying, secret agents, time signatures, and two albums by The Smile.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas return to the subject of their fourth season in order to catch up with the extra-curricular activities of members of Radiohead. As the band released two albums within a year, the Big Mates talk about Wall of Eyes and Cutouts all in one episode!

They talk about the writing and recording process, the context surrounding the albums, and offer up analysis, opinions, and thoughts from three differing perspectives on music, from being deeply into analysis and music, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between.

They also find time to speculate on the rumoured Radiohead tour!

When will they stop ripping off Muse? Is Lucas Radiohead? Can you do maths with time? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out next Monday May 12th, and will see us return to Billie Eilish in order to start discussing her third album, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT!
