Based in Derby and Falkirk, the Mid Life Punk Podcast is led by Tom Sidwell and Niallism, operating as a primary tastemaker for the UK underground DIY scene. The duo facilitates a blend of music journalism and regional banter through recurring segments like the Big Book of Bullshit, where they crowdsource listener questions for guests such as Spike Slawson and Blag Dahlia. Their portfolio includes the Tribute to Punk in Drublic charity compilation, which demonstrates their ability to mobilize the punk community for social causes. A recent win involves the expansion of their Punks on Film series, most recently featuring a two-part dissection of The Great Rock n Roll Swindle with industry peers. Beyond digital episodes, they anchor the live Mastermind-style quizzes at the Manchester Punk Festival, bridging the gap between digital commentary and physical event hosting. Their approach prioritizes raw, informal conversations with acts ranging from local skate punk legends to international icons.
