Thoughtful and informative interviews. Great podcast.
The one with Pete Best was easily the “best” interview with him I’ve heard. Great decision to focus on his personal experiences as a member of the early Beatles versus rehashing the story of his sacking, which has been done to death. This approach allowed him to open up and paint a really vivid picture of the Hamburg days.
Also digging the Squeeze and XTC interviews. Thank You!
Listened to Colin molding and have to say you came across as big fan. That and your honest inquiring lead him to reveal some things I don’t know. The garage thing. lol.
Just shy of getting him to admit that if XTC got together and toured they would each prob make 2 million$ in a summer. Even as a nostalgia tour.
Initially I was drawn in to the guest appearances by the 80s Southern Jangle Pop guests, but now I trust his taste that I know I’ll find something worthwhile in each episode regardless of the guest. - Jefferson Hart
Learning so much from Marc and his guests! Especially the old original (mostly) guys. The intros are though provoking. The talents stand for themselves. And Marc doesn’t interrupt his guests. A+
These are such good conversations about the creative process. Mark comes prepared and gives his guests room to tell their often-remarkable stories. 10/10
