Joe Talbot of IDLES has launched his debut podcast, Oh Gatekeeper with Joe Talbot, today (2nd September 2025).

The weekly series will see Talbot host one-to-one conversations with artists, musicians, and cultural figures to explore why they make work, focusing on process, purpose, and personal truths.

Series 1 features Julian Casablancas, Danny Brown, Tony Hawk, Peaches, Kenny Beats, Jehnny Beth, Hak Baker, Lauren Mayberry, Baxter Dury, Laurie Vincent (Soft Play), and producer Nigel Godrich.

"Oh Gatekeeper is something I wanted to do for a long time. I want to suck the knowledge out of the people I look up to and love. I wanted to do something that lit a spark and encouraged people to find purpose to go out and make themselves. Finding your creative language is a beautiful way to connect with this universe. It saved my life and it saved so many of my friends' lives," says Joe.

The podcast will be available worldwide on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other major platforms, with additional bonus episodes released weekly at ohgatekeeper.com.
