About this episode

Marc Almond joins The Chris Moyles Show to discuss his music career and the iconic song 'Tainted Love'.

Dear wonderful listeners, thank you for tuning in to Episode 558 of The Chris Moyles Show Podcast. This week, we were joined by the magnificently talented Marc Almond from the iconic Soft Cell. He told us about the recording process behind that song - yes, that song, you know the one! Tainted Love, of course! We also chatted new music and plenty more from his brilliant career. We also had Postman Dom reading your letters, while Polly filled us in on her latest venture: house-sitting a friend’s flat. Although, something fishy seems to be going on… You’ll also find: - Ask Us Anything - ‘All Star’ (Polly’s Version) - Jeff Brazier’s prank on Toby Plus, plenty more laughs, nonsense and unexpected moments thrown in for good measure. Thanks for listening!
