Andrew 'Cold' Souter and Oli 'Daring' Pyper again welcome Steely Ann to the pod bothy. The subject? A funky bit of kleptopop that proved instrumental in defining the Steely Ann sound and helping them seize their crown as south-central Minnesota's premier Steely Dan tribute band.
-
Lured from his Moog Drome, pod-adjacent legend The Drum Doctor finally joins Andrew and Oli to discuss a rhythm-heavy number that should be right up his alley. His verdict? 'I didn't even realise it was Purdie on the drums.'
-
Strap in, folks. The NavCore's set for Mizar 5 and it's gonna be a long journey. Thankfully, First Mate Souter and Spacebilge Operative Pyper are on board.

Agents of the law! Luckless pedestrians! Podcast devotees! We know youâre out there. Join Andrew, Oli and friend of the show Ben Jones as we pick apart âDonât Take Me Aliveâ, track three from The Royal Scam. Featuring bad American accents, a misguided attempt at accessibility and five minutes of improvised musical madness.
-
Andrew Souter, cave expert, is joined by Oli Pyper, lumbering cretin. The question: just how likely is it that a child-sized Donald Fagen discovered a noted Spanish speleoplex? Stay tuned to the end for a shocking Countdown to Exegesis first.
-
Following an extended period of hibernation, our hosts emerge refreshed and ready to strut. Will The Royal Scam's disco-dipped opening track sate their legs?

Our hosts are joined by SPECIAL GUESTS Ann and Rachel from STEELY ANN: the greatest female-fronted Steely Dan tribute band in the history of South Central Minnesota. United in scepticism and tenacity, they attempt to navigate one of the Dan's stinkiest lyrical swamps. [Audio is a little ropey in this one. Blame Oli.]
-
Oli is ready to discuss one of his favourite things. Andrew is not. But their commitment to the podcast knows no bounds and they manage to eke out 53 minutes of edutational chat.
