| 9/16/25 | Linger – The Cranberries | On this week’s Pump Up the Jams, we break down The Cranberries’ classic “Linger.” From Dolores O’Riordan’s unmistakable vocal to the swirling strings and the song’s roots in a teenage love story, we dig into how this track became one of the defining moments of ’90s alternative rock. We talk about the band’s rise from Limerick, the emotion that made Linger resonate so deeply, and why it still holds a place in pop culture today. Hosted on Acast.

| 8/25/25 | 1234 Part B with Sally Seltman | In this special Part B, Josh and Cam are joined by the brilliant songwriter Sally Seltman, the mind behind Feist’s 1234. Sally shares the story of how the song came to life, from its first spark to becoming one of the most iconic indie-pop tracks of the 2000s. She talks about the art of collaboration, the unexpected journey from her piano to global charts, and even performs a stunning live rendition of 1234. Hosted on Acast.

| 8/19/25 | 1234 Reasons This Song Slaps | Josh and Cam dive into Feist’s endlessly catchy 1234, the earworm that went from indie darling to global smash thanks to an iPod Nano ad and the songwriting magic of Sally Seltman. They break down the song’s deceptively simple hook, its emotional punch, and how it quietly shaped a whole era of indie pop. Is this the most wholesome banger of the 2000s, or just a very stylish way to count to four?Credits: Hosts: Cameron James & Josh Pyke EP/Producer: Amelia Navascues Engineer: James Bow-Whiting Designer: Emilie Carmona This is an MIK Made Production Hosted on Acast.

| 8/11/25 | Novelty Songs with John Safran | In this very special B-Side, Josh Pyke and Cameron James sit down with Australia’s favourite cultural prankster and storyteller, John Safran. Before his TV and radio antics, John was the frontman of Melbourne indie band Raspberry Cordial, where his knack for witty wordplay and subversive humour first found a stage.From those early gigging days to turning pop culture upside-down on Race Around the World and John Safran vs God, John’s career has been as unpredictable as it is entertaining. The trio dig into his lifelong love of music, the art of using a song to make a point, and wrestle with the age-old question: how do you actually define a novelty song?Expect candid stories, sideways detours, and a few behind-the-scenes confessions about the stunts that almost didn’t make it to air. Whether you know him as a fearless documentarian, a radio rebel, or just the guy who once got himself exorcised on camera, this is John Safran as you’ve never heard him before.Credits:Hosts: Cameron James & Josh PykeEP/Producer: Amelia NavascuesEngineer: James Bow-WhitingDesigner: Emilie CarmonaThis is an MIK Made Production Hosted on Acast.
