Best of Foo: A Foo Fighters Odyssey Total Immersion

Paul Carlin and Lorenzo Pacitti return for a special episode of the world's only podcast to take a deep dive into the latest Foo Fighters release, But Here We Are.

After a couple of challenging years for the band, they're back with a brually honest collection of songs, tinged with sadness, grief and loss... but what do Paul and Lorenzo make of the album?

It's a bumper episode for what may become one of the most significant Foo Fighters albums in the band's discography. Pour yourself a drink of something cold, hot or room temperatute and enjoy.

Thanks for listening!

Paul and Lorenzo reconvene to discuss Foo Fighters' latest album, Medicine at Midnight. While it's great to be talking about Dave Grohl and the Foos again, this album is really pressing some painful bruises. What will they make of Dave's journey to Funkytown?

It's the final! We finally made it! Who thought we'd ever manage to see this through?

In this bumper episode, Paul and Lorenzo are joined by the majority of past guests to vote on the final rankings - Eurovision-style - and decide which Foo Fighters song truly is Best of Foo.

There's a lot to cover so pour yourself a number of hot or cold drinks, get comfortable and prepare for the last ride as we fall down a Foo Fighters-shaped rabbit hole.

Huge thanks to this episode's guests: Ally McCrae, Duncan Robertson, Eddy Walsh, Martin Johnston, Philip Ivers, Ross Stewart and Tom Fraser. Plus our pals who couldn't make it: Amandah Wilkinson, Chris Gallagher, Marcus MacLeod and Stuart Dougan.

Best of Foo will return for some one-off episodes down the line. Thanks for listening!

Suspend your disbelief; this is the semi final of Best of Foo. One more episode stands between you and the actual Best of Foo. In this dramatic semi final, Paul and Lorenzo shake down the final 16 tracks to leave eight. These eight will make up the final of this odyssey. Prepare to throw your smartphone or speaker out of the window in disgust because there are some HEFTY decisions getting made here.

It's the last of the quarter final episodes and we're within touching distance of the Best of Foo Final. Paul and Lorenzo are joined once again by multi-talented musician Martin Johnston to shake down the final eight Foo tunes in this round.

There's plenty of time signature and guitar tuning chat; a first for Best of Foo... Plus, even more terrible decisions and opinions about your favourite band!

This episodes matchups are:
Enough Space vs Shape of You (by Ed Sheeran) // Live-In Skin vs Good Grief // White Limo vs Oh, George // Wind Up vs Times Like These.

Best of Foo is now basically a drumming podcast. Hope you like flams.

In this episode, Paul and Lorenzo are joined by talented guitarist and drummer-for-hire Martin Johnston (of the great Glasgow band American Clay) to deal with eight more songs in this third quarter final.

Like the previous two episodes, there are some hefty decisions and nobody is pulling their punches when it comes to deciding which tunes deserve to make it through to the next round.

Plus, most importantly, loads of chat about drumming and more football references than you're probably used to; deal with it.

This episode's matchups are:
A Matter of Time vs Hell // Hey, Johnny Park! vs Exhausted // DOA vs Everlong // Winnebago vs My Poor Brain.

Love and thanks to @jartinmohnston of @americanclayhi for taking part in this episode. You can also hear Martin's talents on recent recordings by @vukoviband and @the_quilter.
