Well written, well told.
Thanks for all of your pods. The John Lennon one almost brought me to tears as you closed off the episode.
I was 8 years old when he was shot down. My Parents and Sister were all so devastated as music was our thing.
You did such a fab job mate
I just finished listening to the Robin Williams episode. What a beautiful tribute you gave him, Mark. Your writing and story telling is truly a gift. I laughed and cried. Thank you!
Co host on the Brittany Murphy episode spoils the episode. She has very little knowledge of Brittany , lacks the vocabulary or medical knowledge to make any comment. Edit this out and we have a 5 star episode
Mark your new podcast is wonderful and done with so much compassion. A fascinating subject but delivered with respect. You have covered 2 of my favourite celebrities Any Winehouse and Robin Williams. Excellent is an understatement
Congratulations ♥️
