Oh! Brother

Merry Christmas, Pod-fans! For this festive treat we decided to join up with Red Army Reaction for that grandest of Boxing Day traditions, a family quiz! Hosted by the inimitable Terry Christian, an authoritative voice for all things music and football, our two almost specialist subjects. Thanks for all your support through the year, and thanks again to Terry for hosting. Plenty more to come from us here at Oh! Brother in 2026, with loads of great guests and the Futures and Pasts Festival. Merry Christmas from Paul and Steve! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
