No1, in a trailer clip that summarizes the band\u2019s history and teases their latest recording sessions with in-studio footage. \u201cNo one wants to hear them try and retread things that they\u2019ve done before,\u201d says Dalgety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Mk2Z270Xxcs?version=3&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;autohide=2&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Music journalist Tony Fletcher, the author of popular biographies of R.E.M. and the Who\u2019s Keith Moon, will host and narrate the weekly, 12-episode podcast.
