Many stories I knew, many stories I didn’t know. Absolutely fantastic oral history of one of our favorite bands <3

A must for any true fan. You will be entertained. And likely learn a few things too. My only complaint is that it's 85% New Order & not nearly enough Joy Division. But then again, that band wasn't around long enough to generate the loads of stories that make this series such a delightful listen.

As a fan for 35 years it is quite insightful to hear from the band now and then about the musical and professional journey of their careers. I've never grown tired of listening to their music, and this series just deepens the appreciation of the music and the process. A must listen for anyone who is a fan of the band, the era, or the business.

Great musicians and music! Such a story of up - down - up - down. Can remember Club X in San Francisco and dancing to their music in the late 80’s.

I just finished the last episode of Transmissions. It is a treasure trove of unknown pleasures for us Joy Division/New Order fans. Many thanks to the producers of the show, for putting this together and to the Band for sharing their stories. And thank you to the guy in the grocery store here in Los Angeles for noticing I was wearing a New Order Fact. 50 Movement t-shirt in the produce aisle and telling me about this podcast. And yes it’s official NO merchandise. I’ve seen them in concert every time they preform in Los Angeles. Learning the Band doesn’t like to be photographed or appear on their album covers explains why the Band performs live on stage in the dark on stage. New Order’s live performances are very visual and immersive experiences with state of art technology, sound, lighting and video display. They are like the Banksy of rock bands, the audience gets to experience their art, but we don’t get to see the artists. I very much enjoyed hearing how the Band felt about their American audiences and performing stateside. And how New Order became part of the lexicon of American pop culture, such as the Pretty in Pink soundtrack. The production and story unfolding of Transmissions was excellent, each episode focusing on the Band’s next project. I personally appreciated the interviews with Peter Saville. In the 1980’s I was a young American who followed the new music coming out of the UK. New Order, OMD, Ultravox, Visage, Roxy Music. And I came to realize all these bands whose music I’m buying and following, have the most amazing album covers. Cutting edge artwork, rooted in art, design and history. Reading the credits I learned they were all designed by Peter Saville. He changed the course of my life. When I got out of high school I knew I wanted to be a graphic designer, inspired by Peter Saville. And that’s what I did. I went to design school here in Los Angeles and I have worked in entertainment industry graphic design my whole career. In the mid 1990’s Peter Saville moved to Los Angeles. Learning this I contacted him to show him my work. It was a great experience to become acquainted with him during the brief time he lived in LA. I will get ready for season 3 of Transmissions. Sending appreciation from across the pond!

The first season is short and spotty with anything of substance. Whoever was in charge of this latest one, KEEP THEM ON. The presenter is great and the story well told. Glad I gave it a second chance.

I've been a fan since the mid 80'snwhen I first stumbled upon NO/JD on my local college radio station at the time (thanks, KUOP!). They are a key part of the soundtrack of my childhood. This was such a fun listen...while I was generally familiar with some of this from articles, books, and of course 24 Hour Party People, this went into much more detail and the firsthand accounts from the band members made it extra special. Thanks to all who contributed to this gem of a series!

Cheers to the whole team that is putting together this podcast! An amazing story that I only knew parts of. Love seeing how all the pieces come together

Such a great story through the wire! Heard this band(s) on college radio for the first time in 1983 on WIDR 89.1 FM Kalamazoo !!

As a fan of New Order and Joy Division, hearing all these stories and how the music came together has been wonderful. It’s been great going through all the early days and going through each album one by one.

Just awesome!!

I've been listening to and reading about Joy Division and New Order since I was a teenager, and still learned some things from this podcast. It is also nice to hear the members of the band speaking themselves, in addition to many of their contemporaries in music. If you like the band(s) you will probably enjoy this podcast.

As a longtime fan it’s so great to hear insights about all of their albums and work. 🖤

Awesome you are continuing with second season, love it!!

Transmissions” offers a fascinating deep dive into the history of Joy Division and New Order. The podcast blends insightful interviews, archival footage, and rich storytelling, making it perfect for both longtime fans and newcomers. A must-listen for anyone who loves these iconic bands!

Thank you so much!

What else is there to say?

That omission doesn’t really warrant a full star deduction but I could not give it 4.7 stars. Great interviews. I’m sure I will listen to the whole thing again.

I giddily gobbled this series up! I so hope there is a season two. Loved every minute.

Must listen for any JD & NO fan! But a great listen for anyone interested in the history of music. In the words of another legendary Manchester band, “Please please please let me get what I want.” More episodes!!!

That’s all.

A must for any fan. Waiting anxiously for season two.

Very well done. Amazing. Now where’s season 2!

All around great podcast. Wonderfully produced.

A fascinating dive into how much influence two punk/new wave bands had on music today. Historic interviews are woven with modern love stories of the band and it is truly addicting. I can’t stop listening!

When I first started listening to New Order in the early 80s, they were shrouded in mystery. It’s fascinating to hear their story directly from them, and from those close to them. And it’s a great reminder how truly great they were—and are.

Well done guys

I’m a huge New Order fan and this podcast is like a weak Wikipedia page. It’s difficult to know who is speaking. Why is there an entire episode about the Hacienda and then it jumps back to Power, Corruption and Lies? Whole podcast is too broad stroked for me.

Wow- almost entirely band interviews. Real substance and details that matter. Brilliant.

This is a wonderful podcast about a great couple of bands! I am enjoying the narrator immensely and I look forward to every chapter with intense Joy!

2020 is another year gone by we wont hear New Order play Lonesome Tonight, Way of Life, Run, Vicious Streak, Face Up live in concert - but at least this Podcast will tide us over in the meantime.

If you know anything, everything or nothing about Joy Division or New Order you will learn something new and enjoy it.

I could go on Mastermind with the subject of JD / NO ...but I still listen to everything about them.

Very well done interviews cut with narration to drive the story. Best of all clips of songs to demonstrate what each conversation is about are found throughout. I can never get enough Joy Division/New Order, highly recommend!
