Andy's Arab Strap Special - September 2025
Andy has something a bit different, and very special this month: a two-hour Arab Strap special, including an interview with Malcolm Middleton and Aidan Moffat recorded whilst on their August UK tour, in which they discuss their entire three-decade career. The interview is split into four parts throughout the show, and includes exclusive news about their future plans. Naturally, you're going to hear a few of Andy's favourite Arab Strap songs, as well as the usual mix of new music from other acts including Simon Heartfield, The Micronaut, Brian Bilston & The Catenary Wires, Melys, Purity Ring, Tracey, Deary, Saint Etienne, Black Honey and others.

Leo Gilbert - September 2025
This month's radio show from Leo is a journey through shifting moods, sonic textures, and cultural connections. It begins with Scott Lavene's dryly humorous "A Bus in July", grounding the listener in everyday detail before sliding into the electronic spectrum with CHLOE's atmospheric "Androgyne" remix, Amon Tobin's kaleidoscopic "Paisley Knights", and Qasim Naqvi's futuristic "Beautification Technologies". The energy grows sharper with Zoë Mc Pherson's glitchy experimentation before drifting into ambient reflection through 7038634357's "Seventeen Nights" and Biosphere's cosmic soundscapes.
From there, the program weaves tender folk (Poor Creature), spiritual resonance (Jonah Brody), and surreal humour (Gelli Haha) with darker, more industrial turns from Headless Horseman, Two Shell, and Anne-James Chaton's angular spoken-word collaboration. Midway, sharp-edged punk and murky basslines from Wednesday and Facta sustain the tension.
The show then expands outward, embracing global perspectives: Orchestra Gold's Malian-inspired grooves, Bombino's desert blues, and Africa Express's celebratory collaborations. Intimate moments surface in Valentina Goncharova's meditations, Iona Zajac's stripped-back ballad, and Darren Hayman's quiet melancholy.
Cinematic and experimental collages follow - IDLES, Blanck Mass, claire rousay & William Tyler, and Nobukazu Takemura—before closing with Viv Albertine's raw spoken confessionals, Tafese Tesfaye's ethereal harp, and Roméo Poirier's aquatic dissolves. A borderless, exploratory soundscape.

Mark Whitby - September 2025
This month's show features an excellent exclusive session from Alexei Shishkin, featuring not only a wonderful cover of a much-loved Microdisney song but another track that's unlikely to be heard anywhere else, in any form.
In addition to that we have tracks from new albums by The Beths, Osees, Richard Quirk and Bloodshot Bill, among others, plus new singles from The Cords, Burial and Cornershop.
There's more from the excellent Public Enemy and Half Man Half Biscuit albums plus something from the new Eamon the Destroyer album, destined to join them in my personal list of 2025 favourites. Peel Back..., as usual, reintroduces us to tunes featured in session in John Peel's shows 50, 40 and 30 years ago this month.
