Apologies for the delay in posting the second part of this special two-part podcast. Things are busy at this end . You know how it is.
Always true to our word, “The No-Robson Club Part 2″ features a very special guest, so take a wild guess who that might be.
This episode features music from Ry Cooder, Teenage Fanclub, Linda Thompson and others. As usual, there is some effing and jeffing. Enjoy.

Episode 18 of the Friends of the Stars Podcast is a PART ONE of TWO PART affair. Recorded just last week in the fine city of Glasgow, these episodes DO NOT feature Executive Producer Robson.
Wait….come back.
Containing tunes by David Bowie, Magnetic Fields, Kevin Ayers and Elvis Costello, “The No-Robson Club” finds Friends of the Stars members Campbell and Craig spending the afternoon idly considering exactly how many copies of their next album the band need to sell in order for all 5 members to live high on the hog. They also discuss the difficulties of having family and… Read the rest

Epsiode 14 of the Friends of the Stars Podcast is here….
FOTS-POD#14 “Robson The Headless Thompson Gunner” follows the tried and tested Music + Swearing formula that has proven so successful in previous broadcasts. So successful has this been in fact that interweb subscribers to this rubbish now number more than 20..Who are you people? Seriously. Maybe you’d like to get in touch and ask Executive Producer Robson a question? Email info@friendsofthestars.co.uk with what’s on your mind.

Episode 13 of the Friends of the Stars Podcast is an accidental Burns Night Special. Normally the mention of specific dates and events are avoided when the podcasts are recorded, and mainly because the finished article often takes an age to go online. However, and as you’ll hear, the date and time cat was allowed to go galloping out of the bag on this one..
As well as laying down the plans for 2009 at the allotment, Executive Producer Robson and Craig discuss The Myth of The Deep-Fried Mars Bar, How Hard It Is To Dig A Grave… Read the rest

Here we go again with Episode 12 of the Friends of the Stars Podcast series..
“The Robson of the Sierra Madre”, on the interwebs and direct to your ears, finds Executive Producer Robson and Craig hitting their stride early doors and already 2 beers down. Punctuating a selection of fine tunes from the likes of AC/DC, Dolly Parton and Glen Campbell the conversation veers violently between subjects including The Crisis in English Cricket, The Futility of Novelty Socks as a Personality Statement and, controversially, What To Have For Pudding.

Here’s a short and poorly put together promotional video for the Friends of the Stars Podcasts. The growing army of regulars listeners may enjoy putting faces to the names of the guilty.

Clocking in at 35 minutes and 12 seconds, Episode 11 finds a reasonably lubricated Executive Producer Robson and Craig discussing Wax Cylinder Recording Devices, The Nocturnal Habits Of Chris Martin and, without any apparent irony, The Meaning and Consequences of Libel. As usual, the podcast contains a smattering of industrial language and a selection of fine tunes, including a hat tip to the recently late Ron Asheton.

Roll up, roll up for the first FOTS-POD of 2009, which also happens to be the one that takes the tally of podcasts into double figures. However you do the maths, this means we have now unleashed almost 7 hours worth of music and swearing to a disinterested interweb. Makes you proud, doesn’t it.
Episode 10 is a more sedate affair than previous releases. Executive Producer Robson and Craig are found here in a pensive, post-New Year mood and engage in discussions on subjects including Rock Climbing in Cornwall, How The Gulf Stream Keeps Britain Warm and Why The Beatles Aren’t in iTunes. Indeed, it’s not until the alcohol kicks in… Read the rest
