SPECIAL EPISODE ALERT!! This week on Synthpop Symphony 294 — two full hours where the past, present, and future of synth-driven music collide!

THIS WEEK! On our School of Synth spotlight, I’m joined by Brian and Sarah Linnen from the Permanent Record Podcast as we take a deep dive into one of the most underrated synthpop bands of the late 80s and early 90s — Red Flag. Together, we’ll celebrate Red Flag’s legacy with classics like Russian Radio, If I Ever, Broken Heart, and Pretty in Pity.

Plus! Erasure’s Love to Hate You in a brand-new TSF remix, Zynic’s shimmering cover of Morrissey’s Everyday Is Like Sunday, and a Marsheaux vs. OMD mashup of She’s Leaving. Plus new sounds from TOY, Thomas Azier, and DeSoffer’s nu-disco spin on M83’s Midnight City.

And in Hour Two — get ready for Sinister Eighties Vol. 3: a one-hour mega-mix packed with remixed favorites from Depeche Mode, Fiction Factory, Kim Carnes,Tears for Fears, The Human League, Eurythmics, and The Cure.
