  • Troika #60: One Footer in the Unfinished Troika

    Troika #60: One Footer in the Unfinished Troika
    Mar 6 2026
    Something a wee bit special for episode #60! This is the first one to feature *other* humans, because this is a crossover with two other podcasts: One Footer in the Grave (who I co-host with Marcus Lillington & Andy Clarke) and Unfinished Business (Andy Clarke & Richard Rutter). Each of us chose and introduced three 'desert island' songs, and had a lovely little chat about all our tracks. Features music by Steely Dan, Meat Loaf, The Beatles, RIDE, Fink, Electric Light Orchestra , The Besnard Lakes, Hot Chip, Genesis, Brad Paisley, Stars of the Lid and Snapped Ankles.
