The U2 Podcast

RevU2 share their initial thoughts on U2's cover of The Pogues' raucous song 'Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah' and discuss production, U2's newfound freshness and a potentially divisive xylophone.

Ten years in the making. Hosts Jonny and Tyler reflect on a decade of podcasting, sharing what they've learned along the way and celebrating the incredible friendships the RevU2 musical journey has brought into their lives. This special anniversary episode features the world premiere of December's remix of their track, 'Alison Stewart'. The single will be released on 18 September, with the CD single available to purchase from 11 September via December's official Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/december1985. All profits will be donated to Chernobyl Children International. Special thanks to Scott, Paul and Ails from December, as well as Jeff Morton, Angela Pancella, Sean Whelan, Alfie Adnett, Steve Fryer and James Rowles for their contributions. And to everyone who has listened, supported and joined us on this journey over the past ten years, thank you. Here's to the next ten!

Join us as we share our first impressions, analyse the lyrics and production, discuss fan reactions, and consider what this partnership could mean for the future of U2.

The Back To The Beginning anniversary series continues as Jonny and Tyler turn their attention to War, U2's landmark third studio album. Released in 1983, War marked a major turning point for the band, capturing the raw energy, political urgency, and youthful passion that would propel U2 onto the world stage. From anthems such as Sunday Bloody Sunday and New Year's Day to deeper cuts that helped define the band's early identity, RevU2 take an in-depth track-by-track look at an album that remains one of the most important releases in U2's catalogue. As part of RevU2's 10th Anniversary celebrations, Jonny and Tyler revisit War for the first time in a decade, exploring how their perspectives on the album have changed, discussing its legacy, and asking whether it still packs the same punch over forty years after its release. Join us as we go Back To The Beginning and rediscover the album that turned four young musicians from Dublin into one of the biggest bands in the world.
