About the show

The Quietus is Europe's leading website devoted to independent culture. We were founded in 2008, and since then have run series of podcasts and radio shows in various forms, from music and chat in The Quietus Hour, to favourite artists discussing their best (and worst) of times, to series on women working in the music studios, and the history of the Ukrainian underground. Artist guests have included Warren Ellis, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Jason Sleaford Mods, John Lydon, Shirley Collins, Thurston Moore, Gary Numan, Mavis Staples and many more. The Quietus is now nearly fully-funded by subscribers, and we'll be introducing this pod feed to one of their perks – the monthly Low Culture Podcast, in which John Doran and Luke Turner discuss a favourite cultural artefact, be it an album, book, film, telly series... or shoes. You can find out more about become a subscriber, and visit TheQuietus.com, here.
