The Noah Leg-Room Show (Clean Version)
The Noah Leg-Room
Step into the glow of suburbia’s finest synths, strums, and sarcasm with The Noah Leg-Room Show. This clean edition dives deep into the neon-lit soundscape of the late ’70s and ’80s—where cassette tapes ruled, dad jokes reigned, and the dishwasher was a battleground. Expect jangly pop, dramatic synths, and one furious call-in from Mr Angry RBWM, who’s got strong feelings about festive timing and crockery etiquette. It’s a full hour of musical nostalgia, suburban satire, and sonic storytelling. Whether you’re ironing your tea towels or alphabetising your vinyl, this episode’s got you covered. Full Playlist 1.
