Eps 8: Spector & Marie Oleinik
Episode 8
Monday, 28 February, 2022
In the first episode where the artist fully “gets” and understands fandom - after waiting around stage doors himself in the early 2000s - we unite the hilariously frank Fred Macpherson with the hilariously honest Marie Oleinik. An emo girl taken off course, Marie’s accidental establishment into the ‘indie scene’ was anything but desirable. Now a healthy, music-loving journalist and photographer, Marie recounts how her days as a Spector stan (in the truest sense of the word) unfolded into all sorts of lies, drama and an eventual mental health breakthrough. With host Katie Craik playing referee during what feels more like a therapy session than a re-uniting of fan and artist - our longest episode yet leaves no aspect of fandom uncovered, with no end of hot takes from the man who describes his own fans as a ‘small group of people with big problems’. As well as hearing Fred’s own fanboy memories from the heady days of The Libertines, we also explore what it’s like for bands as they pass through their eras, witnessing fans moving on... only to later reappear in their life as their biggest critics. An exceptional good sport, Marie uses this opportunity to take her crown as the ‘Moth Boys’ era most legendary anecdote provider, truly baring her soul on her experience in the Spector fandom - and how she’s “glad it’s over” but “glad it happened”. 🎙️ Host - Katie Craik 🖼️ Artwork - @creaseillustration 🎵 Music - Blinkus B Booth 🎧 Post-production sound - James Simpson Update: Can confirm Marie now has closure after the release of this episode.
