In this episode I am joined by author Nick Gilbert to talk about his book 'Roadrunner: Radio On, Road Movies & the A4'.

It is a wide ranging discussion that still doesn't get to all the many fascinating subjects covered in the book.

Still we cover Radio On, Hitch-Hiking, JG Ballard, Two Lane Blacktop, Kraftwerk and more.

A foundational English road movie, an Anglo German co-production, possessor of one of cinema's great soundtracks and an impressively strange debut- this episode is focused on 'Radio On'.

Music by

The Croutons

with little bits of songs from the film and a bit of Roadrunner by the Modern Lovers

In this special episode I am joined by Em and Nicole, two of the three directors of the Broken Film Festival, taking place in Guelph, Ontario Canada on the 17th and 18th of April 2026 (next week as I type this).

Mixing experimental film and music this is one of the more interesting festivals out there.
