This has quickly become one of my favourite podcasts! Simon is a terrific interviewer. He is knowledgeable about the topics discussed and has an easy and relaxed rapport with his guests. The episodes I’ve listened to have been extremely enjoyable and engaging, and I’m looking forward to listening to future conversations as well as exploring more from the past. Very highly recommended!

Always enjoy Simon’s engaging interview style. The chat with Nicholas Hammond was wonderful. Didn’t realise a Sound of Music alum had done so much.

Highly recommended.
