Out of Left Field brings you the popular and fringe culture podcast, 5282, concentrating on Music, Film and Television.
Each episode we explore a general topic such as 'Were The Beatles a folk band?', or discuss a particular creative, such as Annette Peacock. Once a month, we produce a recommendations episode containing material you may have heard of and much you've never come across. No remote region of creativity is overlooked as hosts Kevin Petch, Rob Wood, Phil Todd and David Benn explore culture through the 1950's to the early 1980's.
Plus everything after then.
And most of what happened back to... well, pretty much the end of the Younger Dryas.
Plus the occasional guest interview and performance.
We dedicate this page to William Astbury, who started this journey with us, but sadly passed away in 2024.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Classic 1st albums and Mark Sturdy interview
Published: Monday, January 22, 2024
Kevin Petch and William Astbury discuss albums, gigs and books. In the first section they ask, which artists would be remembered if they had made only one album? Contenders include Captain Beefheart and Curved Air. And Kevin throws in a curve ball, to make the point. In the second section Kevin interviews Mark Sturdy to celebrate 20 years (and a bit) of Truth And Beauty: The Story Of Pulp.
In between we recommend obvious and obscure stuff you might find time to listen to, watch or thumb through.
