  • Superb.

    Having listened to many of the episodes it’s so refreshing to listen to Dodge get the best out of each guest. He allows them to talk, without interruption, and actually listens to what they’re saying, allowing each story to flow into the next part or chapter of their life. A superb podcast with great guests.

  • A good listen

    Dodge is clued up and knows Whats he’s talking about with his history. He knows what questions to ask and relates to them well.

    If you grew up during the 90s. House, drugs, crime. If you know, you will know more now.

    It makes a change from banging beats from superstar djs. Go!
