(Don't) Listen to This is a podcast hosted by Ewan Gleadow, featuring a number of guests discussing the 1001 Albums to Listen to Before You Die
Join journalist Ewan Gleadow and fellow writer Graham Williamson as they tackle Eels, the band, not the animal, and their release from way back when, Beautiful Freak.
Join journalist Ewan Gleadow and filmmaker Martin Barshai as they discuss LCD Soundsystem's controversial but well-deserved and rewarding return album, American Dream. Kick up a fuss with an album that marks itself as a faithful successor to the meanings produced by Hunter S. Thompson.
Join journalist Ewan Gleadow and filmmaker Nicolò Grasso as they discuss The Beach Boys... Today! An album that the 1001 Albums book lists as "better than Pet Sounds", but an album that Ewan and Nic' removed from the list almost immediately after listening to it.
Join journalist Ewan Gleadow and podcaster Carson Timar as they talk through one of the newest entries on the 1001 Albums List, the contrarian choice of Lana Del Rey's discography, Chemtrails over the Country Club.
Join journalist Ewan Gleadow and one-third of Drunken Horror podcast Alice Boyd-Leslie to talk about the barnstorming Hunky Dory, an album from David Bowie that was made that much more popular by the album that succeeded it.
Join journalist Ewan Gleadow and Savoy pianist Jon Nickoll, with the pair chatting about Surf's Up - a bleak and dark Beach Boys album that does well to go against the grain of their summery, surfing ways.
Join journalist Ewan Gleadow and filmmaker Nicolò Grasso as they talk through the self-titled third album from The Velvet Underground, The Velvet Underground. With a firm place on the list, it's all to play for as one album must go to fit Loaded on there.
Join journalist pair Ewan Gleadow and Jason Button as they discuss The Smiths' great The Queen is Dead - an album that has likely inspired more manic acts of panic than any other.
Join journalist Ewan Gleadow and returning guest, filmmaker Graham Williamson, to talk about an album that was never paid its dues, and still has not received the praise it truly deserves. Scott Walker's Scott 4 is, as Graham and Ewan document here, a monumental triumph.
Join journalist Ewan Gleadow and The Savoy pianist Jon Nickoll to discuss a return to form for the legendary Elvis Presley, with his first-ever Memphis recording, Elvis in Memphis.
Join Ewan Gleadow and returning guest Nicolò Grasso as they discuss another early entry into the 1001 Albums to Listen to Before You Die list, Joan Baez's self-titled debut album.
Join journalist Ewan Gleadow and BBC Alumni Ellie Marsh where the pair discuss Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, the easy listening masterclass that has won over generation after generation, partly because of the supermarket branch Tesco.
Join journalists Ewan Gleadow and Callum Rowe as they try their absolute best not to mention Wonderful Christmastime while discussing Wings' Band on the Run, an album that shouldn't be as incredible as it is.
Join journalist Ewan Gleadow and Forgetting the Future frontman Robbie McNicol as they talk Green Day's American Idiot and all things that happened because of it, including the rise of the college emo.
Listen to journalist Ewan Gleadow and filmmaker Graham Williamson talk all things R.E.M. Well, not all things. Primarily their debut album, Murmur. Makes sense, since this whole episode is about that album.
Join journalist Ewan Gleadow and Rotten Tomatoes-certified critic Carson Timar as they break down the popularity of Lorde, and where she goes after Melodrama...
Join Ewan Gleadow and Fine Night Elements' drummer Luke Robson to discuss the impact, legacy and longstanding harshness of In Utero, an album that may not need to be on the list at all...

Ewan Gleadow is joined once again by Jason Button for a look back on a classic album that bolstered itself with great tracks. Even then, Jedward talk was always going to prevail.
