Split Picks Ep. 4: X’s ‘Wild Gift’ vs. ‘More Fun In The New World’

In the fourth episode of Split Picks, Sararosa Davies, Nick Miller and Craig Wright discuss X’s 1981 sophomore album, Wild Gift and 1983’s More Fun In The New World.

Split Picks is the first podcast from the Split Tooth Podcast Network. In it, we choose two albums from different periods of a band’s career and dissect the songs, the artist’s body of work and why their music resonates with us individually. At the end we crown the album that reigns supreme.

Split Picks is the first original podcast from Split Tooth Media. We discuss two lesser-heralded works from a single artist and compare and contrast them to discover what these albums or films tell us about that artist's career. Created by Craig Wright.
