807. Dylan, Lennon, Marx & God (with Jon Stewart PhD)
18 januari 2023 · 1 uur 7 min
A conversation about two legends of contemporary popular culture - Bob Dylan and John Lennon, with pop-star academic Jon Stewart (guitarist in The Wedding Present and Sleeper). Lees meer
👉 Episode page https://wp.me/p4IuUx-sJE
📖 Get Jon's book here https://a.co/d/fPBgTel (other bookshops are available)
Jon Stewart is an interesting mix. He is both a university lecturer and a pop star. He runs a Masters Degree course in Music Business and Popular Music Practice at the BIMM Institute in London and he also plays guitar for legendary British group The Wedding Present, AND classic 'Britpop' band Sleeper. So, Jon knows all about the music business from both a personal and academic point of view.
In this conversation I ask Jon about his new book "Dylan, Lennon, Marx and God" which is an amazing dual-biography of John Lennon and Bob Dylan, two of the most significant figures in contemporary popular culture.
Jon talks about the way Dylan and Lennon used language in their work, the references they make to the culture they grew up in, including their spiritual and political views.
Jon also talks about his time as a musician, including working with Elvis Costello and George Michael, and a funny story about John Lennon's "Imagine piano".
I hope you find this conversation as fascinating as I did. If you like it, consider getting a copy of Jon's book!

776. News about changes to LEP & LEP Premium (A)
23 juni 2022 · 48 min
*Update 24/06/2022 - problems are now fixed!* Lees meer
Episodes of LEP have disappeared from podcast apps like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Play - sorry about this! I'm changing podcast host, and my podcast feed is being updated. This is causing a few technical issues, but they are being fixed. Details below 👇
I have moved to a new podcast host - one which is based in Europe and which just suits me much better
Cool things are: You’ll be able to get LEP Premium much more easily - in your podcast app of choice (details on the website - coming soon)
You can support the podcast a lot more easily, if you’d like to be a stakeholder in LEP.
This is all part of my attempt (over 13 years!) to become a self-sufficient podcaster who can devote more time and energy to this project, and make episodes better and more useful and entertaining for you
You will notice some ads in episodes, depending on where you are. Not every time.
Also you might hear me mentioning podcast sponsors at the start of episodes sometimes.
Previously I used to have sponsors, but the pandemic stopped that, basically. I used to talk about italki, spoken, audible, but those things stopped fully during the coronavirus pandemic.
But I have to find ways to keep the podcast going and so the new host I’m working with (Acast) gives the option to put some ads in my episodes and they might also let me read some sponsorship promos too.
This is the way podcasts are going, as the technology develops and the medium becomes more established, little automatic adverts and sponsorships are part and parcel of that. This is how an industry develops around this sort of thing.
Back when I started this in 2009 it just wasn’t possible because the technology wasn’t there but these days it’s normal to either have some advertising in the content or you have the option to pay for a subscription with more content and no ads.
Just like YouTube, you get some ads on that platform and it’s just normal. Some people get YouTube premi…
