The Chronicles of Radar Festival | Joe James on Radar Festival 2025 & More

Welcome to the One Hundred & Fifty-Seventh Edition of The Chronicles Of Podcast, These are The Chronicles of Radar Festival In this edition we sit down with Joe James, festival director and band booker of Radar Festival, to dive deep into the world of one of the UK’s most exciting rock and metal festivals. Joe shares his journey into the music industry, how Radar Festival was born, and how it has rapidly grown into a must-attend event. We explore what sets Radar apart from other festivals, including their unique masterclasses, the process of booking bands, and what fans can expect from Radar Festival 2025. Also this week, we dive into the mysteries of underground tunnels, question how we're supposed to know if someone's actually being chased when everyone just runs these days, and break down the NFL playoffs and Super Bowl madness—including a wild $3 million bet. Tom challenges Jamie with a brutal "Would You Rather" about car accidents, and Jamie asks the question no one else dares: where does Hollywood get all those new-born babies from? The boys also catch up on their week, including Tom’s bizarre tale of getting trapped in his own room. Unfortunately there is no Callum's Treaching this week but as always, Tom’s Journal is packed with the funniest internet finds of the week, and Jamie’s Audience Participation Challenge asks—what’s the first thing you’d do if you won a million pounds or dollars?
