Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)

Welcome to the Pod

Season 1, Ep. 0

Kev and Randy lay out the plans for this spontaneous and hopefully humourous look at the catalogue of one of the greatest rock bands to ever grace the stage: Queen.


Every week, we'll will spin a wheel which contains songs from the entire Queen catalogue. Every week we'll talk about that song and look at background and live performances as well as listening through the song and commenting on different aspects of it. That song then comes off the wheel. At the end of each episode we'll each give our thumbs up or down for the song and remove it from the wheel. This format is lovingly copied from the most excellent And The Podcast Will Rock show, hosted by Corey Morrissette and Mark Camire. If you're into Van Halen, make sure you check that out!


We'll also most likely end up with guests and we'll almost certainly do bonus episodes covering things like live shows, books, and films.


We look forward to chatting with you on social media and you can find us in the following places:

  • 8. Last Horizon

    44:11
    Due to technical issues (AKA, Kev's an absolute knobhead!) we're presenting you with B-Side Pod Review installment ahead of schedule this week. Look, we all know that the solo output from the members of Queen rarely, if ever, reached the heights of what they accomplished as a quartet, but you know what? That's not gonna stop Randy and Kev from rambling on about it at the same sort of length they do in regular episodes. So sit down and get ready to be sedated. Nothin' to do, nowhere to go, so you may as well just enjoy the ride.If I were to title the episode, I’d probably call it “Telegram for Brian May. Message reads. It’s too long. Stop. Please Stop.” or “Well, at least the lyrics aren’t bad…” We’re sad that we couldn’t spin the big wheel tonight but happy we got to take a sideways step out of the main catalogue to talk about a solo effort.Today's episode covers instrumental "Last Horizon" from Brian May's debut solo LP, Back To The Light.Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter and Facebook! We'll always try to answer any questions you have and seriously appreciate any corrections you make to anything we get wrong. And thanks so much for all your support as usual.

  • 7. More of That Jazz

    01:14:24
    Hello all you wagoners, politicians, pedagogues, thiefs, tailors, ploughboys, harridans, and tatterdemalions. The fairy folk have gathered 'round the new moon shine To see the feller crack a nut at night's noon time. To swing his axe he swears, as he climbs he dares To deliver another episode of Seaside Pod Review. Sit back, grab a comfy seat and a good beer, cos we’re talking Queen!If I were to title this episode, I’d probably call it “Seriously, no more of that Jazz” Or possibly, “When a great fifteen second idea is packed tightly into four minutes”. The Cardinal sure was crusty tonight but he lightened up thanks to another Queen song and may I say, the enigmatic and dashing presence of his friend, me.Today's episode covers the song that closes Jazz; More of That Jazz.Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter and Facebook!

    SURPRISE! It's bonus content time. Randy is now a bonus content creator and he's thrilled about it!As if you haven't suffered enough this week, we thought we'd foist an unrequested episode on you. We were just hanging around online and decided to take a look back at the first forty episodes and pick ten songs that we'd put on an album. And then talk about it. For too long. It's what we do! Not to give anything away, there were only five common tracks on Kev and Randy's albums and Kev was surprised at a couple of key omissions by the Cardinal. We also talked about sex robots.

  • 5. I'm In Love With My Car

    01:10:03
    We have to talk about Roger's car song. Pistons, hub caps, radials, gear shifts, and grease guns are all in play! Look, we're not saying it sounds like a seven year old in a hurry wrote these lyrics, but we're also not saying it doesn't! We talk about Billboard's laughable top fifty rock singers of all time, David Bowie (yes, THE David Bowie) tells us a story about seeing Mick Jagger for the first time (it's relevent, trust me!) and Kevin informs Randy that there are people in the world who are actually, honestly to goodness in love with their cars and show it in every way that you would another human. That's like, totally gross dude! Anyway, prepare yourselves for a lot of giggling from your two favourite idiots.If I were to title this episode, I’d probably call it “Are you joking?” Or possibly, “Mecaphile this under just plain weird.”Today's episode covers the next track from Queen's from last week's episiode; I'm In Love With My Car.Oh, and if wanna watch the weird documentary about car shaggers, you can find it here! https://youtu.be/Ba9L6n8zj1UThanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter and Facebook!

  • 4. Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon

    01:17:29
    There's lots of chat on this week's episode but fear not, we do eventually get to this week's song! Lots of discussion about wurlitzers, lyric sheets, Yamaha baby grands... you obviously know why! Randy also educates Kev on where bass players come from before marching his heels to the sea. We still don't know what the strangest thing is that Randy has found in his fridge, but one thing is for certain, it isn't the Normans! If I were to title this episode, I’d probably call it “Monet Monet Monet, must be funnay - painting in the Louvre” or maybe “Vaudevillian villainy”.Today's episode covers the second track from Queen's titanic fourth album A Night at the Opera; Lazing on a Sunday afternoon.

  • 3. Father To Son (and Procession)

    01:20:18
    Hey you lovely old lot. We're heading back to Queen II today and there's more Steven Seagull in this week's episode. Look, don't blame us, we just go where the social media comments take us! We discuss whether the French should be allowed to have passports, cookie monster metal, we're accused of being rude by a man name Ruud, which is a bit rich, and The Cardinal chows down into a hearty bowl of mushroom soup mid-recording! What on earth is going on???If Mr. Randy were to do the one job I give him every week and title this episode, he’d probably call it “The Magic is Gone” or maybe, “I don’t like guitar music and I’m thinking of starting a career as a beat boxer”.Today's episode covers Track 2 from Queen 2; Father To Son. And, as a nice little bonus, we also listen to Procession!Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter and Facebook!

  • 2. A Kind Of Magic

    01:20:54
    "You're alive. Why didn't you die?""Hey. It's a kind of magic."If Randy were to title this episode, he'd call it "I hate real drums and I wish Roger Taylor was never in Queen!" That's what he gets for shirking his responsibilities!It's another late, long episode folks, but that's at least partially your fault. You keep talking to us and we have to keep talking back! We get into all sorts of unsavoury areas tonight. There's more cheese chat, Pee Wee Herman is invoked (RIP Paul Reubens!), and once again, Kevin poses a perfectly innocent question to the Cardinal, that the ecclesiasticoward refuses to answer. Seriously, what's a little bestiality between friends???Oh, and today's episode covers the title track from 1986's A Kind Of Magic.Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter and Facebook!

  • 1. Let Me Live

    01:18:50
    If Randy were to title this episode, he'd call it "Oh oh, take it, take another little piece of my heart now baby. You know you've got it if it makes you feel good"The episode is late, it's fucking long (sorry, it just is!) and Kevin is starting to hallucinate because he's been awake for almost 24 hours... The Cardinal provides an intensive sports update as per a listener request. We learn that one person's fromage is another person's cheese. We debate the big issues, like November Rain vs Every Rose Has It's Thorn? Fromage and/or cheese? We also talk sobreros, thwappy drum sounds, massively questionable lyrics, more questionable creative decisions, and of course we vote on the song. Are Kev and Randy gonna dust this one or is it going to hit the Champion pile...? Oh, also, this episide is LONG!!!! So if you want to skip right to the wheel spin, you can find it at 40:36.Today's episode covers a partial fragment of half an idea of a potential song; "Let Me Live", from 1995's Made In Heaven.Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter and Facebook!

  • 10. Save Me

    01:11:38
    If Kevin were to title this episode, he'd call it "Save Me" but that would be really lame, so Randy's gonna call it "Sir Brian May needs no saving because he wrote Save Me!"There's more pre in the preamble this week folks because Kev needed closure after the shitstorm that last week's episode created. For his part, Randy is very keen to keep the vendetta against his supposed friend alive and was very happy to stoke the flames of that particular fire! We talk about Israel vs Scotland, Brian's Mum, Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, and finally, bring to the fore the age old debate about dill pickles vs pickled onions. Spoiler alert: Mr. Randy is wrong, AGAIN!Today's episode covers Brian's song for a friend that closes out 1980's The Game. Yep, we're talking "Save Me"If you want to hear Randy's song that Kev included toward the end of the episode, you can go do that here. For Kev's money it fits perfectly into that category of perfect songs that could be easily played in a stripped down arrangement. It's called "Take Me Back" and is taken from the second Absofunkinlutely album: https://youtu.be/m6r-5Mp39ecThanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter and Facebook!
