NO ENCORE returns following Dave Hanratty's confectionery clown and professional wrestler-assisted birthday and subsequent bout with Covid-19! He's mostly refreshed if also understandably a little tired. Thankfully, the great Clare Martin of Paste Magazine and the recent episode we did about Swifties fame is here to inject some life - and some good fortune - into proceedings. It's all about the concept of luck this week, per Clare's chosen Top 5. So spin the wheel and see if your numbers come in. Or something. Don't forget, you can get this and every new NO ENCORE episode 24 hours early and ad-free, AND additional bonus audio content by signing up to Patreon.com/NOENCORE.ACT ONE (7:01): Dave finally confronts Brat Summer, Tenacious D are no more, Jonker 2 is back on the menu, the 'should we ban phones at shows?' debate rages on, and an inspired birthday present keeps things on the positive. ACT TWO (45:02): Top 5 Lucky Numbers-Follow Clare Martin on X Hosted on Acast.
