  • Fast forward button required!

    Fantastic music, awful presenter. I can't listen to Billy Reeves, he is so ponderous, and his questions seem to be attempts to upstage whoever he's interviewing. 5 stars if you use the fast forward button to skip through his pish and just listen to the music.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kscope Podcast Episode 192: Bruce Soord and Gleb Kolyadin
Q: Why pursue a solo album when The Pineapple Thief is growing so quickly?
Bruce explains that a solo project provides a different creative outlet, a chance to go deeper personally, while the band continues to grow separately; it's a space for experimentation and truth-telling without overburdening the main band's identity.
Kscope Podcast Episode 192: Bruce Soord and Gleb Kolyadin
Q: Would you have a problem if your audience had a different outlook to politics, and would you say, okay, you can buy my records and come to my shows if your politics jars with my politics?
Bruce believes tolerance is essential, and while he holds firm personal beliefs, he would still engage with fans who disagree, aiming to maintain the art without compromising his moral stance.
Kscope Podcast episode188: Paul Draper
Q: Is it easier for musicians now, or was it easier for musicians in the late 90s?
It's now easier to release music independently, but harder to rise above the noise in today's oversaturated market.
Kscope Podcast episode188: Paul Draper
Q: What motivated you to go back to these songs and rearrange them now?
The motivation came from wanting to improve on original recordings and give them a full acoustic interpretation.
Kscope Podcast episode 186 - Textures
Q: How would you gauge success for the new record?
Success is about writing songs that give me goosebumps, a positive reception makes it all worthwhile.
