Mark Ellen and David Hepworth have been talking about and writing about music together and individually for a collective eighty years in magazines like Smash Hits, Mojo and The Word and on radio and TV programmes like "Rock On", "Whistle Test" and VH-1.


Over thirteen years ago, when working on the late magazine The Word, they began producing podcasts. Some listeners have been kind enough to say these have been very special to them. When the magazine folded in 2012 they kept the spirit of those podcasts alive in regular Word In Your Ear evenings in which they spoke to musicians and authors in front of an audience.


Over these years they've produced hundreds of hours of material. As of the Current Unpleasantness of 2020, they've produced yet hundreds of hours more with a little help from guests kind enough to digitally show them around their attics such as Danny Baker, Andy Partridge, Sir Tim Rice and Mark Lewisohn.

  • Kevin Rowland, the new Dexys and what he's learnt from life

    Kevin Rowland, the new Dexys and what he's learnt from life
    2026/07/08

    We first saw Kevin in ‘77 wearing jodhpurs onstage with his art-punk band the Killjoys! He’s formed a new version of Dexys, made an album, starts a tour in October, and looks back here at central moments in his life, some recent ones so huge and affecting “that I put them to music” and they’ll be performed as a drama in the first half of these upcoming theatre shows. This touches - in vivid detail - on bands that inspired him, repaired relationships, a health crisis, what it took to be a singer in the first place and what’s requires now to put the show back on the road, along with …

    … memories of music before the Beatles

    … playing Jim Reeves and Ricky Nelson in a social club band in 1975 “after the bingo”

    … the touching shift of power in his relationship with his 102 year-old father: “he was like a child again, he needed me”

    … Roxy Music on Top Of The Pops, “I couldn’t believe you could be avant garde AND commercial”

    … life on the Top Rank circuit supporting the Specials: “you learnt not to play at an audience but play for them”

    … making Searching For The Young Soul Rebels in ten days with producer Pete Wingfield dancing in the studio

    … “Come On Eileen doesn’t belong to me anymore”

    … the alarming spectacle of an ‘80s Hear & Now package tour and what it taught him

    .. the song he wrote for his grandchildren (one of whom is 31)

    … a possibly terminal diagnosis in 2024 and “like Wilko Johnson, the relief I felt”

    … and the Tim Buckley song he just recorded without knowing who wrote it!

    Great rock feuds of Manchester, TV comedy & the man who invented the pop song
    2026/07/05

    This week’s penalty shoot-out of news sorts the surefire hits from the over-the-bar misses. That final score again …


    … what Morrissey’s only gone and done now


    … when your logo’s worth than your songs


    … Taylor Swift’s wedding and how Sly Stone got there first


    … do musicians care about awards?


    … Divine Comedy, Jonathan Richman, Fountains of Wayne, Zappa: why are ‘humorous’ records so divisive?


    … happy 200th birthday Stephen Foster, the man who invented the pop song!


    … and cover versions of his songs you’ll know - Hard Times Come Again No More (Dylan, Springsteen, Emmylou Harris), Beautiful Dreamer (the Beatles), My Old Kentucky Home (Randy Newman), Oh Susannah (James Taylor), Camptown Races and many more


    … why comic actors are funnier on TV than in films


    … the delicious melancholy of songs about going home
