Beat Motel Music Podcast

The Music Podcast you want

You’ve landed in the Beat Motel Zine Music Podcast

Welcome to Beat Motel, the place where we dig into the ruins of music history and cultural detritus. We have finally bothered to set a schedule, so you can expect a fresh earful of rambling on the second Monday of every month across all the usual podcast platforms. If you would rather watch Dr. Sam look bewildered while I explain 80s pop culture, the video versions hit YouTube on the first Friday of every month.

The listening links on this site usually work, but let’s be honest, the whole place is a bit shunky. You are probably better off following those links on the right-hand side to get the episodes direct from the source before the code decides to pack it in. Whether we are discussing how God wrote the greatest song of the 80s or why a legendary actor spent his youth as a roadie in a camouflage suit, we suggest you subscribe and help the numbers go up so we might actually get paid for this one day.

What the f*ck is Beat Motel?

Beat Motel is a music podcast by Andrew Culture & Dr Sam Page. Music chat, gonzo-style gig reviews & fun sh*t for freaks & geeks. Alt music & comedy zine.

Welcome to Beat Motel Zine, the comedy-infused alt-music podcast! Born from a zine from the DIY scene, we blend laughs with punk, metal, and everything offbeat. Discover the weirder side of bands, from unintentionally funny stage antics to musical mishaps. Tune in for a profane, comedic journey through alternative tunes, where every episode is a laugh. Join us as we explore music’s funniest fringes with a punk rock spirit!

Can the alternative music scene and comedy mix? Of course they can; we’ll prove it to you. Warning, episodes contain creative profanities in the vein of The Thick of It.

Beat Motel Zine started as an award-winning print zine sometime around 2004, and this podcast continues that trajectory with attitude, enthusiasm and curiosity. Tune in, turn up & kick back!

We dig into the alternative music we live for. Join us for deep dives, on-the-spot live reviews and laughs. This is not about the world of pop, this is an alt music podcast with a punk rock zine attitude. Beat Motel is about the fringes of the musical world, and we’re going to pull at those threads until it unravels.
