- My new favourite podcast
I came across this podcast looking for the Paul Weller podcast with Eliza Carthy as the guest. So I listened to the episode with Eliza Carthy and Tim Rhys-Evans. Beautiful range of music and fascinating talk (and some dance steps) by people who are passionate about music. I particularly enjoyed their observations about, and reactions to, each other’s choices.

If you like music you’ll love this. But even if you are not that bothered by it this is a soothing, very pleasant diversion for anyone really. They never have guests who you wouldn’t want to have a quiet drink with. Always nice people who leave you feeling a.little better than when you first tuned in. Enjoy!

I have been listening to this podcast for several years. There is so much to take in, that I have listened to episodes more than once with the same enjoyment every time. It is fascinating to hear so much background detail. I have also “discovered” new composers and artists. The guests have such a good time that it feels like a party.
