On this legendary episode of The Mixtape, we sit down with Stu Whiffen—co-founder of Pod Bible and host of the acclaimed Off The Beat and Track Podcast—for a deep dive into his incredible journey through the UK’s indie music scene.

Stu shares jaw-dropping stories from his days as the promoter of the longest-running indie venue in the UK, including how he once booked Radiohead for a crate of beer, and the surreal moment he ended up singing onstage with R.E.M.

We also explore the intersection of podcasting and music journalism, the evolution of DIY culture, and, of course, ask Stu to create his dream mixtape—featuring the tracks that defined his life behind the scenes of some of music’s most unforgettable moments.

🎤 If you're into indie music history, podcast culture, or just love a good backstage story, this one’s unmissable.
