Tired of the same-old serious book analysis in podcasts? Well, we were. To solve this, Ryan and Callum started Smug Book Club. A podcast that gets literature 'lit' and puts the 'ok' into books. Every fortnight, the team releases an episode on a book. It can be old, new, classic or not, anything is up for discussion. Expect foul-language and spoilers, but don't worry if you haven't read the novel, we've done it for you. Follow us on Twitter: @SmugBookClub

Yeah it’s for sure a recorded interaction with Purelink, (Akeem, Ben, Tommy) the glambient boyband supertrio whose music has lathered up countless soundbathing Boomkat fiends.

Some say we had a conversation with Nina Protocol honchodon Mike Pollard. Many describe this as the most debilitatingly hungover unit of media recorded inside of New York City. Many more froth at the mouth as they proclaim it to be an incredibly wide-ranging and insightful conversation regardless. We went in on Mike’s formative days as a tween labe…

It was time to do podcast with the musique artiste object blue (@objectblue), who pulled up to the CFHQ with what can only be described as a very bad attitude. She had bones to pick and beef to purge. The fellers were subjected to unhinged rants about Keanu Reeves, the lesbianic artfulness of the Wachowskis' 'Bound', Beijing wet t-shirt contests, f…

The Physical Therapy episode of Clout Farm. It's what they are calling this episode of Clout Farm: Physical Therapy’s. We entered PT’s home inside of New York City and exchanged subject-driven words. These relate to: body workouts, ye olde witch house 1.0 era, being college roomies w Mykki Blanco, the most shredded Fade To Mind associate, putting o…

It was James K at the London farmhouse. It was a linkup that followed her performance at the inaugural Clout Farm event at London’s historic George Tavern.

This is an episode of Clout Farm with Bay Area boss 8ULENTINA, who came through our NYC creative incubator off the back of a swag and dope TT eve at the joint known as Bossa Nova Civic Club.

We invited NYC pod papis The Ion Pack (aka Curtis and KJ) inside of ourselves for an exchange of sentences. The sheer quantity of thoughts expressed will cause even the most committed mind-haver to be awed. We went in on Jacob Collier dweebwave, Dev Hynes’ goated career arc, The Blood Brothers, opening for The 1975, Burial tea, trying to see ghosts…

It’s ok to get Blaketheman1000 on the podcast. It’s fine for all three podcast ‘hosts’ to be ruinously fried, sleep-deprived and borderline nonverbal after successive days of stunting and going buck around New York City. There’s no issue simply asking Blaketheman1000 to basically just list stuff he likes. What was discussed includes all manner of t…

CF NYC takeover continues with noted Olivia Rodrigo stan and ex-Jollibee employee Ana Roxanne pon pod. We went in on System of a Down, The Streets, The Used, and all manner of hard-rocking/hip-hopping type music.

Melbourne don daddy SUS1ER taps in podstyle. Sus is a certified honcho, having cooked up up bust-grade music joints with kool kats including but not limited to Scan, Fatshaudi, Joeyy, Lovefear and others who are also kool kats. Pod kicks off on a sour note due to planned co-guest Effective Power bailing out due to cowardice (“sleep deprivation”), b…

The fellers stayed pon farm this ep, using humour as well as insight to address your AMA questions. We took lessons from rival podcasts, kicking off with hilariously relatable and casual opening banter, before getting down to the brass tacks of music and cultural commentary. What was discussed? How about the alternate future Jai Paul denied us, the…

We EXPOSED the one-entity venture singlehandedly BLOWING OUT the music contentosphere: it’s a conversation with billdifferen. billy d might be the most tapped in individual breathing. His rundowns on jersey club, baile funk and schizocore Soundcloud 10.0 rap have legacy music journos scrambling to ally themselves with him. We’re calling him the emb…

Geezer of 1000 facets Ben Bondy went buckwild on the farm. Child of Jersey. Person of glambience. Papi of maybe 47 music aliases, unified under the theme of “swag ass music”. A veritable topic buffet is served. We gorged ourselves on nuanced horniness. We chugged gallons of fantasising about hanging out with Fred Again and Skrillex. We dislocated o…

“I hate getting nuked”. It’s just common sense. But what if it we’ve been misled? It may explain DJ Smokey: Shadow Wizard Money Gang proprietor, certified Loreseeker, Shed Theorist and guest on the podcast Clout Farm. We went in on high school Smokey lore, fursonas, Kubrick standom, A$AP Yams appreciation, the Drake hitlist, sludge metal and the st…

The fellas chopped and chazzed it up with Chanel Beads and Colle, on the ground in London for a series of shows many described as “effing loco” and “loco as f”. It’s safe to say Colle practically was at a Rolling Stones afterparty hobnobbing with Keith and Ringo, it’s ok to state that we broke bread about Brokeback Mountain, it’s fine to whimper th…

Soooo we reviewed a year, 2023 specifically. We did that with inner circle heads n homies DJ RISH (@sfmetcalfe), Salon (fka Symrun) (@salon_no_mind) and L Man (@da_l_man). What emerges is frankly a masterclass in six fellers kicking back and having a nice time. We pretty much solved macroeconomics as well as microeconomics, rattled off best music a…

No new Organ Tapes (@corpmane) music this year. Twinks and quivering anemic cowards around the world devastated. But there is hope: it’s a new Organ Tapes episode of the podcast Clout Farm. A flicker of joy in a time of oppressive darkness. It’s a meeting of minds sure to unify the Western and Eastern canons. We covered OT’s time-tested domestic bl…

Art. Tech. One of the most relevant intersections of all time. This is why we interfaced with James Whipple aka M.E.S.H (IG: @hesaitix). aka Hesaitix: Berlin bailer, PAN souljah, Berghain vet and celebrated COD no-scopester An abundance of INSANE chat ensued. Some say we went in on German horrorcore, dissected the essence of “fire pit guys”, and ou…

In a world that prizes weakness and being a whimpering baby, it’s important to remember: it’s valid to be a musclebound freak. So we talked to certified hench head and Break With Me uberlord Denglord about cultivating a fire physique, sourcing cut-rate shrimp, and rock (music for strong guys). Deng is a POD (Person of Depth). He plays in fire band …

The fellers (@dj_pitch @madjestickasual) kept it in-house this ep. We then invited you into our house such that we could answer your frankly krazy AMA questions: we got into Lizzo, Bar Italia, Filipino supremacy, DJ ethics, knuckleheads, and all manner of insanely provocative and viral subject matter. Not exactly ‘conventional’ stuff… First half of…

We pulled up to the situation room with Barrett Avner (@barrett_a_87), don daddy of @contain___ and (ex-)shred mercenary with Royal Trux, Sun Araw, Sic Alps and a whole mess more. Three 5-star saucepapis in tactical union. We put out targeted strikes on discoursemongers, parapolitickers and lames of all creeds, harkened back to the autumnal bliss o…

It’s our first-ever second episode. We went to the cloutocultural frontlines with Jennifer Walton (@jenniferwalton.co.uk): music artiste, Berghain alum, former Kero Kero Bonito member and noted Real One. Let’s just say we broke down the fundamentals of gooning, chilling with your Xbox Live groomers, Dick and Dom in da Bungalow, Liturgy, and the cra…

We (DJ Pitch and Madjestic Kasual) went mouth to mouth with Ian Kim Judd (@ikjfomo), the being behind the Fifth World show on NTS and boss hogg at Nina.

Manga, eh? Anime, yeah? Why is it when the ‘Murricans get their grubby hands on it to adapt for their screens, they always seem to balls it up? Do they even know what they’re doing with it? Is it all just a culture clash? Or is there a slither of merit in what they’re creating? Callum and Ryan (somewhat) answer these questions, alongside their stan…

No podcast for sad men? Well, there’s always this one. Cormac McCarthy died, and Ryan and Callum are bummed. But it’s okay – they have each other to talk about the man’s legacy and what made him so darn special. There’s also some encyclopaedia chat, as well as an honest assessment of some kneejerk review bombing following Elizabeth Gilbert’s decisi…

Yee-haw! It’s time to saddle up for another Very Novel. Down at the ranch Callum and Ryan are rounding up the latest book stories for y’all.

And why did we make t…

Okay, yeah, we may actually be closer to 2022 than 2020, but when do the Smug Book Club boys let tradition stand in the way of a good time? No, that's not a rhetorical question: WHEN?
