History Of The Loose Goose

The Loose Goose is intended to stimulate discussion about music which may not be represented in the mainstream. Hosted by Steve Johnson and various co-presenters, the show takes the form of a conversation, interspersed with little heard tracks, classic, new material and choice cuts. Editions of the 'Goose' focus on a wide range of genres and sub-genres, often using physical artefacts as a means of evoking nostalgic recollections of particular times and reflecting critically on music genre iconography, to provoke conversation and analysis of specific music genres and events.

Loose Goose Podcast

Loose Goose Radio at the "Music, Pedagogy and Community" Symposium at Atrium, University of South Wales, Cardiff.

Dr Peter Jachimiak and I gave a presentation today - to do with Loose Goose Radio- at the "Music, Pedagogy and Community" Symposium at Atrium, University of South Wales, Cardiff. It was largely well received but we were criticised by one delegate, essentially for re-inforcing gender division by looking back on what were, almost undeniably, predominantly male orientated sub-cultures . We recognise the fallibility of sub cultures, most often the domain of nascent, adolescent males. However, we would argue that it would be foolish to ignore what has gone before, instead feeling it appropriate to look back as a process of critical reflection. The aim of the 'Goose' is not to simply reminisce, lauding former music genres and 'style tribes'. Conversely, it is a process of looking back critically and analytically, talking to those who knew the 'scene' and using specific memorabilia as a means of discussing pop culture trends; music, fashion and imagery. We seek to do this through sharing our love of music, fascination for sub-cultures and critical discussion with our guests, often pivotal 'movers and shakers' in the UK music scene. We seek to offend no-one and aim to engage in meaningful but enjoyable dialogue with everyone! Ultimately. it all comes back to our love of music. This passion allows us to discuss relatively complex matters, in ways that subtly connect us with a wider audience than can often be the case with academic research Although the Podcast is presented by two media academics, we'd like to think that we get so many downloads, plays, website hits and social media contributions because people simply enjoy what we do. Let's hope so! Thanks again to Dr Rob Smith, University of South Wales for making the effort to arrange such an impressive event. Steve Johnson
