On this episode, we welcome Glenn Donaldson of The Reds, Pinks & Purples back to the show. Glenn has been a guest on the podcast two times before this and during the COVID period, he was also contributing to the Free Form Freakout website with his Failure Of All Pop column, which he has recently revived in a newsletter format. For this episode, we look back at some of Glenn’s favorite releases and discoveries of the year, and we discuss different aspects of his music-making with The Reds, Pinks & Purples, along with other topics generated through some questions submitted by listeners and fans of his music. Throughout the show, you’ll also hear tracks that Glenn picked out to play, some of our recent favorites from The Reds, Pinks & Purples releases from 2024, and some other favorites of the year that hadn’t been played on the podcast show yet. Hope you enjoy this episode. Feel free to get in touch if you have any comments or questions. As always, thanks for looking and listening.
