  • Just brilliant

    What an amazing insight from people in the know, leading up to the best interview I’ve heard with PW, not the usual questions which I’m sure he’s sick of.

    The episode with Tufty had me spitting my coffee out, just brilliant

  • The Best F£&@ing Podcast in the World

    I’ve followed this series from episode 1, being a fellow Weller obsessive. Dan has such an easy way of mining nuggets of pure PW gold from the people that know him the best. Episode 180 is the pinnacle; I read/watched/listened to virtually every PW interview, and I can’t ever recall PW being so relaxed and open. Dan, thank you for your unwavering dedication and ultimate professionalism. PS Dan, can I order a signed copy of the book and nab a seat at the film premiere please?

  • Where do I start?

    This is an amazing well thought out wonderful pod cast. The ending with Paul himself giving an interview was the icing on the cake. While Elton and others have a film made about them ( and if that’s your bag, then go for it) this is an account of the artist that really is all about the music, it’s great to hear Paul talk like a fan when he discusses the Beatles furthermore for example when he discusses class and how proud he is to be working class, it really is a joy- brings me back to the 1980... more
