A podcast for James fans, by James fans.
Welcome to Shooting Our Mouths Off, the podcast dedicated to celebrating James – the music, the moments, and the community around one of the UK’s most beloved bands.
Hosted by lifelong fans Laura Dean and Liam Christopher Walker, each episode takes a closer look at everything James: from album deep dives and live show memories to band history, fan culture, and the ways their music continues to connect people across generations.
Expect lively conversation, personal stories, and plenty of passion – plus special guests with unique ties to the band, sharing their own perspectives and experiences.
Ahead of James' Australia and New Zealand tour, we had the pleasure of catching up with Saul. He looks back on the year so far and ahead to returning Down Under, reveals how he ended up mastering so many instruments - and answers the burning question: does he still have his Lollapalooza dress?
