NO ENCORE #161 | Typical Irish Begrudgery

The only way to make a Good Friday even better – the latest episode of your beloved NO ENCORE podcast.

It’s good on other days, too. This week, the boys welcome God Knows into the studio for a long-awaited, in-depth conversation.

Elsewhere, there’s some Fontaines fallout, a Coachella blitz, the new Anderson .Paak album, and a strangely lethargic Daithí for some unknown reason.

ACT ONE: Dave is very bored by something that he wrote about. Don’t ever say he’s not self-aware.

ACT TWO: Rusangano Family man God Knows on growth, success, giving back, mental health, and why he’s determined to fight for the best version of himself.

ACT THREE: In the news; Coachella, Frank Ocean, and Keanu Reeves. Also, Dave goes to bat for a band that needs more love, at least according to him.

ACT FOUR: New and Improved Songs of the Week ft. Mark Ronson, Lykke Li, BTS, and Madonna.

ACT FIVE: Anderson. Paak didn’t take long to follow up the uneven Oxnard. Does Ventura bring him back to form?
