24 JUN 2023 · Paul Carlin and Lorenzo Pacitti return for a special episode of the world's only podcast to take a deep dive into the latest Foo Fighters release, But Here We Are.

It's a bumper episode for what may become one of the most significant Foo Fighters albums in the band's discography. Pour yourself a drink of something cold, hot or room temperatute and enjoy.

13 MAR 2021 · Paul and Lorenzo reconvene to discuss Foo Fighters' latest album, Medicine at Midnight. While it's great to be talking about Dave Grohl and the Foos again, this album is really pressing some painful bruises. What will they make of Dave's journey to Funkytown?

24 NOV 2020 · It's the final! We finally made it! Who thought we'd ever manage to see this through?
In this bumper episode, Paul and Lorenzo are joined by the majority of past guests to vote on the final rankings - Eurovision-style - and decide which Foo Fighters song truly is Best of Foo.
There's a lot to cover so pour yourself a number of hot or cold drinks, get comfortable and prepare for the last ride as we fall down a Foo Fighters-shaped rabbit hole.
Huge thanks to this episode's guests: Ally McCrae, Duncan Robertson, Eddy Walsh, Martin Johnston, Philip Ivers, Ross Stewart and Tom Fraser. Plus our pals who couldn't make it: Amandah Wilkinson, Chris Gallagher, Marcus MacLeod and Stuart Dougan.
Best of Foo will return for some one-off episodes down the line. Thanks for listening!

13 SEP 2020 · Best of Foo is now basically a drumming podcast. Hope you like flams.
In this episode, Paul and Lorenzo are joined by talented guitarist and drummer-for-hire Martin Johnston (of the great Glasgow band American Clay) to deal with eight more songs in this third quarter final.
Like the previous two episodes, there are some hefty decisions and nobody is pulling their punches when it comes to deciding which tunes deserve to make it through to the next round.
Plus, most importantly, loads of chat about drumming and more football references than you're probably used to; deal with it.
This episode's matchups are:
A Matter of Time vs Hell // Hey, Johnny Park! vs Exhausted // DOA vs Everlong // Winnebago vs My Poor Brain.
Love and thanks to @jartinmohnston of @americanclayhi for taking part in this episode. You can also hear Martin's talents on recent recordings by @vukoviband and @the_quilter.

5 SEP 2020 · In this episode, Paul and Lorenzo are once again joined by their buddy Ally McCrae to go through then next batch of songs in this second Quarter Final.

Plus, Ally tells the story of the time he ACTUALLY MET DAVE GROHL.
This episode's matchups are:
Rope vs The Colour And The Shape // Alone + Easy Target vs This Is A Call // The Line vs February Stars // My Hero vs Bridge Burning.

30 AUG 2020 · After a short break, Paul and Lorenzo reconvene to continue their Foo Fighters odyssey and, for the first quarter final episode, are joined by friend, podcaster and all round excellent dude, Ally McCrae.
We're into the thick of it now so pretty much every song remaining is huuuuuuge so please enjoy this extremely controversial episode with some HEFTY hot takes, jaw-dropping decisions and some much deserved comeuppance for Lorenzo (depending on whether or not you think he deserves it.)
This episode's matchups are:
I'll Stick Around vs Resolve // Ain't It The Life vs No Way Back // Best of You vs Generator // Savior Breath vs Monkey Wrench.
Love and thanks to @allymccrae whose podcast How Did You Manage That is well worth your time.

8 AUG 2020 · Here's a little stop gap episode that'll either make you breathe a sigh of relief or make your blood boil. Either way, this could be a key moment in the legacy of Best of Foo as Paul and Lorenzo open up the Second Chance Saloon.
Each presenter is allowed to make two overrides, bringing back overlooked or unlucky songs from previous episodes to replace a track from the last 32...
It's all done randomly and the stakes are high... listen to find out if any fallen heroes get a reprieve. After all, this is Best of Foo; not Meh of Foo.

1 AUG 2020 · It's taken some time but the final Tie Rack of the podcast comes to its conclusion in this episode as Paul and Lorenzo discuss two more Foo matchups with guests Eddy Walsh, Ross Stewart and Duncan Robertson.
The language is industrial at times and there are detours-a-plenty but, in amongst all that, decisions are made on the final two matchups in The Tie Rack: A Matter of Time vs Word Forward + New Way Home vs Hey, Johnny Park!
Thanks for sticking with us - more episodes on the way!
