Show Notes
On a grey February morning in 1995, one of rock’s most enigmatic voices stepped out of a London hotel room - and into one of music’s most enduring mysteries. The Manic Street Preachers’ lyricist - Richey Edwards - brilliant, fragile, and beloved -
left behind a life heavy with pressure and pain. After his disappearance, his car was found near the Severn Bridge, a place weighted with symbolism and sorrow.
Richey himself was gone. No sightings. No answers. Just a trail that stops cold on the border between England and Wales.
Listen as we dive into the Britpop Era of London, the case of Richey Edwards, and how to stay alive on vacation.
