WAKE: The Album

In the grand tradition of Finnegans Wake, WAKE has looped back around on itself to become a self-generating machine, as we welcome back musical innovator and the most reckless of Stramashers, Tommy Mackay to talk about WAKE: the Album! Yes, this very podcast is honoured to be the inspiration for at least half the tracks on Tommy’s new mash-up (stramash-up) album of music, smashing WAKE readings into the music of Taylor Swift, Wham!, Devo, and more, with more groan-worthy dad-joke pun titles than you could possibly handle. Join us for a track-by-track odyssey through WAKE: the Album, in the hope that no takedown notices emerge to ruin anyone’s fun.

There’s a sailor on a horse! There’s an invitation to suck a sugarstick! There’s Gráinne O’Malley’s girl power!

This week’s chatters: Tommy Mackay, Toby Malone, TJ Young
