We listen to a mystery album every Sunday 20:00 BST (GMT+1) and chew the fat.
Also, on the last Sunday of each month, we have a themed "vortex" where everyone suggests a tune or two and one of us makes a mixtape out of the results.
If that appeals to you, search #ListeningClub for the chat, get the music on the blog and join in if you feel like it: https://thelisteningclub.blogspot.com
