Out of Left Field brings you the popular and fringe culture podcast, concentrating on Music, Film and Television. Each episode we explore a general topic such as 'Were The Beatles a folk band?', discuss a particular creative such as Annette Peacock and make recommendations for material you may have heard of and much you have never come across. No remote region of creativity is overlooked as hosts Kevin Petch, David Benn along with guest presenters explore culture through the 1950's to early 1980's.
Plus everything after then.
And most of what happened back to... well, pretty much the end of the Younger Dryas.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
