Trying real hard not to binge this. Want to draw it out and make it last. Great interviews with great guests. Nathan ask great questions and doesn’t get in the way of the answers. Hope to hear Craig Bloxom one day.

Australia8 months ago - Never dull - A great listen
Jolly doesn’t get in the way of a story, it breathes, & gets a few pearls from his interviewees. Some tell more of their escapades than the item being promoted but that’s oft the artists.. In all it’s a well rounded chat about the item at hand,influences etc. Have a listen. Usually frank,& intriguing & never boring.
