Another one for the bad guys. Dave Hanratty is back from holidays but alas, Craig Fitzpatrick is still on official leave as he recovers from a quite dramatic and daunting Primavera experience. Luckily, we have NO ENCORE OG co-host Colm O'Regan on hand to step up to the microphone.On the agenda this week – a bumper news section covering the biggest recent headlines, plenty of holiday talk, and a suitably energetic Top 5 smackdown. If you love what we do, you can always support us over at patreon.com/noencore – every little helps!ACT ONE: Top Gun! Slipknot! Baseball! Dave reports back from Toronto. ACT TWO (7:52): The Strokes line their pockets after devastating Craig – who might just have a couple of things to say about that via the medium of a voice note – Queen unearth another gem, Liam Payne ruffles yet more feathers, Harry Styles is too iconic, Sam Fender is sorry, Kate Bush is reborn, and why Nickelback won't help you to victory.ACT THREE (47:48): Top 5 Goosebump-Inducing Sport Anthems Hosted on Acast.
