Moggzy and Lucy kick off Episode 21 with big news: Saddleborn, the western and country clothing brand from Leigh, is on board. Use the code MOGGZY for 20% off site-wide at saddleborn.co.uk, and keep an eye out for their pop-up shop opening in Leigh on Sat 14 Nov. Then it's straight into the news. Zach Bryan has dropped a surprise EP, announced a 2027 stadium tour with no UK dates, hit No. 1 on Apple Music with Lana Del Rey on "Lies" and somehow made peace with Nashville. The CMA's Dolly tribute streams live on Disney+ at 2am Thursday, our time. Plus Dolly's Welsh "Jolene", and Cody Johnson hitting Manchester and The O2.
Songs of the week are DENYM's "Without Sound", Stella Lain's "The Boys Who Broke My Heart", July Moon's "I Hate Country Music" (it's not what you think) and Noah Brigden's "Gone" (#divorceddadfolk, apparently). Then there's a load of Would You Rathers, from a Welsh duet with Dolly to a life of "Cotton Eye Joe", plus a quick-fire round. We finish with a guide to UK country gigs on this week.

#020 - Catalonian Line Dancing, Aldi's answer to country and Banning "Howdy"
Lucy returns from a bout of illness just in time for Moggzy to recap his weekend at the Honky Tonk Highway event in Liverpool, where he experienced a highly energetic, hip-hop-esque style of Catalonian line dancing taught by an instructor Pol from the Barcelona region. The hosts break down the intense choreography, including a routine designed to mimic Captain Jack Sparrow, before diving into their weekly music picks. For the UK, they highlight Mikala Fredriksson's upcoming upbeat track "39," which playfully tackles aging without the usual doom and gloom, while the US picks feature Chase Matthew's grounded "Start from the Holler" and Tigerlily Gold's "Girls Are Gonna".
The episode fully embraces its self-described dynamic of "complete random nonsense" during a chaotic Q&A segment. The hosts passionately agree that British country fans need to permanently retire the word "howdy," debate whether they would rather forget their toothbrush or deodorant at a weekend festival, and confess that they actively skip the "Cotton Eye Joe" line dance despite peer pressure. After revealing some decidedly non-country guilty pleasure tracks like Chris Brown's "Forever" and Iyaz's "Replay," the duo wraps up with a comprehensive UK gig guide featuring events at Little Nashville in Bristol, Ruby Rays in York, and the newly opened Jolene's.

#019 - Country Festivals, Quirky Gigs & All Time Greats
In this episode, host Moggzy is joined by the show’s first guest host, Zoe Unsworth, stepping in for regular co-host Lucy. The duo kicks off with a lively recap of Susannah Clegg’s Manchester gig at Hen House Presents, detailing the venue’s quirky upstairs setup and standout support set from Louise Connor. They dive into current country and crossover discussions, sharing candid thoughts on Taylor Swift’s new music direction, speculating on potential country headliners for Glastonbury—such as Ella Langley or Zach Bryan—and reacting to the freshly announced C2C: Country to Country lineup, with particular excitement for the Manchester events and acts like Riley Green and Jelly Roll.
The conversation then shifts to their personal song selections and lighthearted debates. Moggzy and Zoe share their weekly picks, spotlighting tracks by Matt Rogers, Jake O’Neill, Miranda Lambert featuring Ella Langley, and Kenny Whitmire. After tackling trivia questions—including crowning their ultimate country songs and choosing between Morgan Wallen and Zach Bryan—the episode concludes with a comprehensive guide to upcoming live country gigs and festival appearances across the UK for the week ahead.
