Transmissions: The Definitive Story of Joy Division & New Order Podcast Series

The tale of Joy Division and New Order is being told like never before in a new podcast series titled Transmissions: The Definitive Story. Set to retell the epic chronicles of the group from Joy Division’s inception onwards. It has been produced by the same team behind Robert Plant's hugely successful podcast, Digging Deep.
The eight part series will launch on October 22nd on all podcast streaming services and features exclusive interviews with the band, Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris, Gillian Gilbert and Peter Hook, plus contributions from iconic guests and narrated by Maxine Peake.
The Manchester group wrote a monumental chapter of music history and were integral to British culture over the past 40+ years, influencing some of the greatest musicians alive today who appear as guests, each sharing their own account of a band that helped shape them, including Anna Calvi, Bobby Gillespie, Bono, Colin Greenwood, Damon Albarn, Hot Chip, Honey Dijon, Johnny Greenwood, Johnny Marr, Karen O, Krystal Klear, Liam Gallagher, Perry Farrell, Pet Shop Boys, Ben Kelly, Hewan Clarke, Lindsay Reade, Peter Saville, Shaun Ryder, Stereolab, Virgil Abloh, Veronica Vasicka and Thurston Moore.
Bernard Sumner says “Nothing would’ve stopped us - nothing did stop us, did it? Ian’s death didn’t stop us, Martin’s death didn’t stop us, getting all the equipment stolen didn’t stop us… There was nothing to go back to. There was no plan B.”
“To be in one band with such a distinct identity is pretty bloody lucky but then to get into two bands was amazing!,” says Peter Hook.
New Order also just released the definitive collection of their 1983 studio album Power, Corruption & Lies accompanied by individual releases of the four 12” vinyl singles from 1983/1984 that didn’t appear on the original album, beginning with the best-selling 12” of all time, "Blue Monday", followed by "Confusion", "Thieves Like Us" and "Murder".
