About the show
Sheer Pod Attack: A Queen Song‑By‑Song Podcast is a weekly deep dive through Queen’s catalogue—in strict chronological order.
Hosted by Edinburgh brothers Stephen and Paul Nicholson, lifelong fans since raiding their dad’s Queen's Greatest Hits cassette in the early ’80s, each episode spotlights a single track with context, studio and live history, cultural impact, and where it sits in the Queen universe. After the discussion, the boys deliver their verdict: Top, Middle, or Lower‑tier Queen.
Expect archival interview clips, spirited (and often cheeky) debate, and a Queen quiz question.
