ExplicitEpisode 36 | It's been a while but we're back from our holidays, so here's an extra special extended Podcast. It was recorded on an unseasonally hot sticky night, so join us round our imaginary pool with our sailors hats at an odd angle as we play a selection of tunes best served HOT. We also ponder who would win in Hip Hop 100m race, and DJ Rules spins some of his crate-digging finds from his epic road trip abroad and does the best (or worst) introduction to a track on any broadcast media..ever. Music comes from Position normal, DJ Alibi, Ganglians, Beatles, Daedalus, Pharoah Sanders, Thundercat, Julian Lynch, Seahawks, Ras G, Bombay Bicycle Club, Titantic, Spectrum and The Mekons. | 10 10 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanEpisode 35 | It may be the summer holidays but that doesn't stop us bringing you another tremendous Podcast for you to enjoy while wafting yourself with a palm frond and chewing down a cold one, or simply eating a Rasberry Ripple.

ExplicitEpisode 34 | Hooray! or should that be Boo! It's festival season, and indeed this was recorded on Glastonbury weekend, we weren't there but instead we stay warm and dry and try and capture the excitement of Stretford Pageant, and we find out who was headlining Glasto last time Dr Volume was there a verrrry long time ago. We also bring you a sleeping bag full of sounds from the soulful to the downright spooky with the likes of : Bryant K, Crystal Stilts, Hollie Cook, John Maus, Woods, Africa Hitech, Fab Five Freddy and Dondi, The Beach Boys, James Blake, Chad Valley, Crass, Venetian Snares, Lonnie Jordan and The Caretaker. | 9 7 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitEpisode 33 | Things got off to a shaky start, with us attempting to repair DJ Rules' (the DJ who loves to break stuff) headphones with a roll of parcel tape. This was only partially successful, but the fact that DJ Rules spent the show with his 'cans' hanging limply from his ears like a bedraggled spaniel didn't prevent us from delivering you another spectacular circumnavigation of planet Groove. The songs come thick and fast, big and brassy with hits old and new from: Andre Williams, Art Brut, Caravan, Public Enemy, David Bowie, Clout, Eddie Floyd, Battles, Baths, Washed Out, Underworld, Secos & Molhados, Dutch Uncles and Gil Scott-Heron. | 7 6 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitEpisode 32 | We're back from our cosmic Yacht Rock excursion with Medium Wave Season 3, Episode 1 or to put it simply, Podcast 32. Once again we veer back and forth from the past to the future and beyond with a playlist more mixed than than the reviews of the new Radiohead LP. We also discuss Record Store Day, plug our website far too much and DJ Rules poses the question "What is Love?" and the slightly harder conundrum "What IS Dubstep?". Click the Play button to find out. It's fun, it's out there, it's a bit ridiculous, it rocks, it rolls, it's the bloomin' Medium Wave Podcast. The platters that matter came from: Smiley Culture, Colournoise, Captain Beefheart, 2562, Curtis Mayfield, Moon Duo, Ty, Belong, Akron Family, Wagon Christ, The Meters and Factory Floor. | 26 4 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitEpisode 30 | We are 30! But don't worry, we haven't grown up, put on some sensible trousers and decided to settle down. Far from it, instead we regress to age 14 and get strangely over excited about having some female company in the pod as we welcome the lovely Sophie to give her opinions of our musical selections and throw in one of her own. Soph goes head to head with our computer generated voiceover artist, introduces the concept of minty jeans, tries to ignore DJ Rules showing her his 'interesting 7"' and attempts to kick start the Landfill indie revival. Plus tracks from Disrupt VS Soom-T, Magic Kids, Captain Beefheart, Sir Paul McCartney, The Debo Band vs Kiddid, The View, Still Corners, J Dilla, Star Slinger, John Foxx, Bill Withers, No Age, Toro Y Moi and Broadcast. | 29 1 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitEpisode 29 | While all is quiet on Planet Pop over the festive season We present a look back at some of the best new and old music we heard in 2010. Peel had his Festive 50, we've got a Seasonal 17. Dr Volume has narrowed his down to a Top 12, while DJ Rules has whittled his down to 5 so he can play some NY NoWave and Pentangle tunes instead. We also discuss what TV-unfriendly surprises we'd like if we were on 'Noels Christmas Presents' and we find out who has finally restored DJ Rules faith in House Music. Amongst the snippets and highlights we also present tracks in full from James Chance and the Contortions, Autre Ne Veut, Mount Kimbie, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, Pete Brown and His Battered Ornaments, Wire, Liquid Liquid, Autechre, Lone, Violens, The Pentangle, Toro Y Moi and Ducktails. Oops...given away some of our Top tracks already...ah but which ones? You'll have to listen to find out. | 3 1 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitEpisode 28 | A little later than planned we're back once again. It's nearly Xmas, and you'll be hard pressed to tell whether thats a roaring log fire in the background or the crackle and hiss of DJ RUles' vinyl collection. This episode we stumble upon the unexpected theme of poetry and the spoken word set to music (well for at least four of the tunes anyway). Elsewhere we discuss whether the campaign to make 4' 33" Xmas number one is the work of a bunch of humourless, spoilsport music snobs and DJ RUles attempts to discover whether the Incredible String Band is a fiddle-dee-ree too far for his co-DJ Dr Volume. Plus a bumper Xmas pillow case of Pop stuffed with: Deadelus, The Liverpool Scene, Amp Fiddler, Tame Impala, Sarah Webster Fabio, The Soft Moon, MC Chunky, Meat Beat Manifesto, Incredible String Band, Seahawks, Arab Strap, My Bloody Valentine v Andy Weatherall and Leroy Vinnegar and definitely NO sleigh bells. | 19 12 10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitEpisode 27 | We're on a roll now so here comes another massive mash-up of melody and mayhem. A distinctly spooked-out feel to this show, not sure why but check the photo montage for this show..it's dark! But it's all strung together with the warm and friendly chat from Medium Wave towers, fuelled by lager, cigs and nuts. Tuneage tonight comes from: Ras G, Wavves, Lizzy Mercier Descloux, Lone, Roots Manuva, Avey Tare, Mako & The Hawk, Position Normal, War, Dutch Uncles, Girl Unit, Gary War, Killing Joke and The Soundcarriers. | 14 11 10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitEpisode 26 | Episode 26. It's Grim Up North but this week we crack open a bottle of Badgers ale, dish out the Pork Scratchings and DJ Rules goes back to his soul roots. But don't worry he goes all weird again after listening to Dr Volume's mechanical Robot music, and we're back to playing improvised experimental pieces for clarinet before too long. We also hear from The KLF, Violens, Gregory Isaacs, The Pink Floyd, Fabienne Delsol, Archie Bell and the Drells, Wire, Ty Featuring Sway and Roses Gabor, Serena Maneesh w Stereolab, Gil Scott-Heron, The Books, Brian Auger Trinity, Indian Jewelry and Roland P Young. | 1 11 10 | Free | View In iTunes |
