  • Great guests, interviewer not so much…

    The guest are always great, love hearing them talk. But the interviewer just seems to have the same 6 questions, every interview, and about the same 8 cultural touchpoints over and over again - which is even worse when they’re completely culturally irrelevant to the guest. Too much of the time it comes across as though he hasn’t done his research or homework, which is a huge missed opportunity. Great guest list though…

  • One of my faves

    Listening from Australia. Awesome variety of music guests interviewed warmly & enthusiastically. Particularly enjoy the British musicians, acts, producers & stories from or covering the 80s (especially pop/new wave). Thanks for such a great podcast. Is a regular listen for me. David’s ‘yes’ replies, are a keeper, love them.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Barry Blue
Q: Did you at that point, because you would have been the perfect age to experience the counterculture and the hippie movement and that political as well as cultural shift. Was that something that you were particularly interested and keen on at that stage?
Barry reflects on growing up in the glam/60s era, watching bands and fashion, and being influenced by the Carnaby Street scene and the broader counterculture.
Barry Blue
Q: Barry, it's over to you.
David hands over the interview to Barry to begin his life story and early formative years.
Stephen Kent - Furious Pig, Lights In A Fat City, Trance Mission, Furious Pig
Q: Which came first, the John Peel session or the album, and how did that early exposure shape your trajectory?
The John Peel session came first, which helped propel the band into Rough Trade and the wider indie scene, setting the stage for subsequent touring and recording opportunities.
Stephen Hunking - Hypnolovewheel
Q: What's coming next for you and the Hypnolovewheel legacy?
Plans include a festival appearance, a careful reintroduction of the catalog with remastered tracks and bonus material, and continued exploration of archival releases through collaborations and compilations, keeping the band's story alive for new listeners.
Stephen Hunking - Hypnolovewheel
Q: How did ownership of the music and masters evolve for you later in your career?
After years of not owning the masters, the opportunity to reclaim rights arose through discussions with the label's contacts. It involved legal steps, but eventually everything could be consolidated under the Hypnolovewheel umbrella, enabling proper reissues and streaming representation.
