• Christmas Special - Father Crispmas (AKA Del Currie, Spudos Crisps)
    2025/12/19
    And so this is Crispmas, and what have we done? We’ve only bloomin’ well recorded a festive edition of the mighty Birth. School. ROCK! Death podcast, that’s all. Joining fierce panda’s Simon Williams this time around is Father Crispmas himself, aka Del Currie, head honcho of the Spudos crisp emporium - think salt’n’shake on steroids. And then hop on board the magic Yuletide bus as Del and Simon trade the Crispmas songs which have soundtracked their lives as well as carefully detailing the crisp fads, fashions and flavours which have followed them through the Birth. School. ROCK! Death. doorway. Del used to send fierce panda his demos in the ‘90s, and fierce panda never responded. Listen to this podcast to find out how Del is getting his sweet, sweet revenge, and then listen to the special seasonal Spotify playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2zn3hj8r2ILNbFvqpLudzG

    2025/12/15

    12 pods until Christmas? Yes indeedy, and that twelfth episode of the Fierce Panda Birth. School. ROCK! Death. podcast is with us in full effect. Our special guest this time around is DEBS WILD from Team COLDPLAY. Way before the panda released their ‘Brothers & Sisters’ single in 1999 Debs was on the Coldplay A&R case, the first genuine advocate of the quartet’s burgeoning potential. With their ten night stint at Wembley Stadium in the rear mirror the pod arrives as the updated version of her indispensable ‘Life In Technicolor’ Coldplay book launches at the Dublin Castle in Camden Village on December 16th with a live Q&A and much more besides. Get the full Crispmas Martin SP over here:

  • Episode #8 - Jed Morgans (Hideous Mink, Opus Kink)
    2025/11/19
    It’s episode 8 of the fierce panda podcast called Birth. School. ROCK! Death. What can possibly go wrong? Nothing at all as this week magazine editor, label boss and frantic muso Jed Morgans hits the SO sofa. Last week he played his wild saxamaphone onstage in Opus Kink at a rampant Electric Ballroom. Last whenever, his Hideous Mink label released the toweringly glowering ‘Hideous Collective’ compimilation album, chocful of all your latest perverted leftfield loves. And lastly, but never leastly, Tanzana’s ‘Covert’ supercool single is tickling our Scottish indie pinky punk eardrums. Honk Kong, indeed…

    2025/11/10
    It’s the seventh episode of Birth. School. ROCK! Death. and we are smashing through the fourth wall as this week’s Fierce Panda podcast guest is…Simon Williams from Fierce Panda as he prepares to curate the Tonic Music parlour at Shiiine On festival later this week. Jed Morgans from Hideous Mink asks the questions while Simon sits in the hot spot of the sofa to gurgle softly about the highs of ELO and the Farmer’s Boys while merrily misremembering key facts about his own back furry back catalogue. Good times, people. Good times.

    2025/11/03
    Episode Six of Birth. School. ROCK! Death. has snuck in through the back door, glowering at the scatter cushions and casting a giant dark shadow over the hearth rug. Because this week’s fierce panda podcast finds Opus Kink singer Angus Rogers in full seething effect as he rattles through the tracks of his tears. With his band of skronking jazz post-punkas preparing to decimate the Electric Ballroom on November 7th the mighty frontman talks poetry, passion and passionately poetic farewells. Top lad.
