  • Great Podcast!

    I really enjoy listening to Rob’s podcast every week. Rob really does ask the most interesting questions and he has great stories to tell himself. Have been a “fan” of Rob’s since the beginning of his career. Keep up the great podcast. Wish I could have seen you perform in the West End!
