Another trip around the sun inevitably means another highlight reel as Sonic Architect Adam returns for his annual vocation of combing through the year's episodes and filtering out the best bits to enjoy at your leisure over the holiday period; and no less than three and a half hours worth, mind you!

Enjoy revisiting the laughs with us one last time as we pull the shutters down on NO ENCORE proper until February, however we will return in mid-January over on the NO ENCORE Patreon with bonus content to keep you tiding over until we return.

Thanks to all who listened in 2025, longstanding listener or no – it's been a fantastic year and we couldn't have done it without you.

Happy Christmas!

We've bloody gone and done it again - another year is almost in the books and so it's time to review the standout art and artistes of 2025.

Heroes and villains, songs and albums, and plenty more besides go under the critical spotlight, including a category that almost got lost to miscommunication.

Dave Hanratty (the guilty party on that aforementioned communication snafu) and Sonic Architect Adam (entirely innocent) are joined in studio by the all-star team of Fionnuala Jones, Richard Chambers, and Craig Fitzpatrick.

Expect plenty of spirited disagreements, mostly friendly debates, and goodwill to all mankind.

...honk.
