Low Culture Podcast: A Quietus Trailer

It's been a while since we've regularly updated our Quietus podcast feed, but that's about to change. Many of you will be aware that the site is now pretty much entirely funded by our readers, with these exalted subscribers getting sent a host of perks, including what we call the Low Culture Podcast. This monthly show features tQ founders Luke Turner and John Doran discussing a cultural artefact that they love, from albums to films, TV shows, books... and even shoes. You can find the full archive here. We're going to be giving you tasters of these pods via this main feed, with a bit of a smorgasbord of shows from our archive to kick things off. So tune in to listen to excerpts from Luke and Doran praising the transcendental joy of Alice Coltrane's Journey In Satchidananda, while critiquing how its been a little coopted by gong bathers; discussing queer cruising in Joe Orton biopic Prick Up Your Ears ; our love of Dr Martens boots; and there is of course some chat about The Fall. This trailer concludes with a version of the latest Low Culture Podcast, on Suicide's debut album. If you like what you hear, you can help support the work of The Quietus in providing the antidote to the algorithm by becoming a subscriber here. You can sign up with a month free to explore the huge archive of these podcasts, plus further essays, playlists and much more. Thanks to Alannah Chance for editing this trailer, and for producing The Low Culture Podcast
