Raucous, ridiculous and surprisingly satisfying - The Horne Section Podcast is back! Join us every other week as host Alex Horne and his band are joined in the basement by a very special guest for some musical mayhem and plenty of laughs. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Why listen

The Horne Section Podcast is a chaotic comedy-music show where Alex Horne and his band turn songs, games, guest chats and running jokes into controlled nonsense. It is best for listeners who like British panel-show humor, improvised musical bits and episodes that feel like being trapped in a very talented basement rehearsal. Start anywhere, especially if you want something silly, fast-moving and more inventive than a standard celebrity interview.
