The Bright Magic Podcast is the official companion series to the new album Bright Magic from Public Service Broadcasting.

Across six episodes, released weekly from 5 October, J Wilgoose Esq and writer Rory MacLean take us on a journey through Berlin, the city that inspired the album, touching upon its history, its inhabitants, and the artworks created there.

Rory MacLean’s best-selling book Berlin: Imagine a City was a source of inspiration for J Wilgoose Esq as he moved from London to Berlin to make the band’s fourth album. In this series they dissect the music of Bright Magic, illuminate the ways David Bowie, Weimar Germany, The Novembergruppe, Marlene Deitrich, Berghain, Anita Berber, and more can be found within, and shed light on the creative process.
