    I’m of some advanced years, so I don’t know all of the bands - but that’s an education. I love the format, and ethos!

  • Amazing podcast for musicians

    Giles is a fantastic interviewer. The conversations are flowing and he easily brings them back to the theme of the podcast. As a musician it’s so valuable to hear everyone’s perspectives and still be entertained and inspired. We often listen to the episodes on tour and discuss after. Keep it up!

    A fantastic and original idea for a podcast.

    Attended the second session with Joe Talbot of Idles and it was set in the fabulous setting of Signature Brew. A very enjoyable listen and a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

It started as word on the street, leaked and then confirmed; after a performance, SNL were in the house and the guest went through rounds including a tape live showcase and a screen test before the live moment.
