12DJ0S2 Season 2 Promotion
We’re back, back, BACK! Just a note to let you know that we have finished recording another six Pet Shop Boys In Depth podcasts - the first episode  of Season 2 will be out on FRIDAY 27 OCTOBER, marking the exciting 30th anniversary reissue of Relentless.  We’ve learned loads since the two of us first met back in February and launched In Depth in May. As complete podcast novices, we’ve been bowled over by the feedback from Pet Shop Boys’ fans all over the world - we’ve listeners in over 70 countries, and in June we even hit number one on the Apple Podcast music chart. Of course this was helped in no small part by a mention on the official PSB social channels, which was a thrill in itself.  On the back of our sixth episode we tentatively launched a small fundraiser and online T-shirt store - the proceeds of which meant we were able to buy a small mixer and a couple of microphones, and also cover our hosting costs. We were extremely humbled by these contributions - it meant a great deal and we’re extremely grateful. You can still grab a t-shirt via the link below.  We’ve tried to up our game on all aspects of content and production and really hope that you like the results. It’s been a lot of fun. But the core aim has stayed the same - to celebrate 40 years of Pet Shop Boys, by going In Depth on all aspects of their career. So expect more PSB chat, facts, memories, theories, and more ridiculous quizzes. Your feedback, as ever, will be greatly appreciated.  Please follow or subscribe to get each episode as soon as it’s available.    You can also follow us on social media via our new Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551930457713   Or on X: https://x.com/indepthpsbpod?s=21&t=-7a7rYGyknDjKrVLCwhzGQ   You can buy a t-shirt here: in-depth.teemill.com

12RX006 Lyrically
We wind up season one of In Depth with a look at some of Neil’s favourite lyrical themes, or “Tennant's Tropes”. Graham then turns quizmaster to expose Chris’s lack of lyrical knowledge, before a final study of PSB album closers uncovers that, just like in Shakespeare, you’re never far away from a wedding or a funeral.  You can get bonus content and contact Graham and Chris on Twitter here: @InDepthPSBPod ==== Help us make more episodes Producing these podcasts has been quite a journey for the two us. Making them was very much a learning process and we were nervous about “putting ourselves out there” and how they would be received. But we have been bowled over by the positivity and nice comments from fans around the world. Who knew what a nice place the internet secretly was? Or maybe it’s just Pet Shop Boys fans that are a decent bunch. Clearly the mention on the official PSB socials was a key moment for us and we I am sure we will both milk our number one Apple music podcast status for many years.  Many people have already asked if we are planning to make any more. The answer is that we would love to. Clearly the podcast could run indefinitely and we have firm plans for at least another six episodes. But the first six were very much a product of circumstance. We had access to free studio time through Graham’s work, but that door has now closed. In addition, hosting costs are £100 a year. So it is with some trepidation that we are once again testing the water. Today we’re opening up a crowdfunding page via justgiving, with a target of £500. This will pay for: * Two years of hosting across all main podcast platforms  * The equipment necessary to set us up to be able to record self-sufficiently, to a high quality, without the reliance on studio time or any third party  You can visit our gofund page here: https://gofund.me/9439d154 We appreciate that some people may prefer to get something more tangible for their investment, so today we are also opening our In Depth online T shirt store. There’s a range of designs, with all profits (approximately £10 per T shirt) going to support the podcast.  Anyone kind enough to donate or buy a T shirt will get a shout out in the credits of a future podcast. You can visit our t-shirt site here: https://in-depth.teemill.com/ Fundraising in this way isn’t ideal but it’s the only way we can think of to keep In Depth going, given we can’t afford to wholly subsidise it ourselves. Another ask would be to head over to the Apple Music or Spotify apps and give us a nice review. And please consider following us on Twitter. @InDepthPSBPod Thank you again for all your support to date; it’s meant a great deal.
