I absolutely love this podcast. Elizabeth and Stuart are both well knowledgeable, informative and passionate when putting these sessions together.
I’ve learned quite a lot from this podcast and they’re both fun!
Stuart and AlkerPops help me through the day in the warehouse.
Incidentally, Bill Oddie’s mum DID live in Rochdale; we met her in the pub in 1980 when we ( Mysterious Footsteps)were recording at Cargo Studios . She told us she was Bill’s mum but we didn’t believe her...turns out she blummin WAS. 😂😂 it came out on his ‘who do you think...’
Always fascinating and never less than throughly enjoyable!!!
It didn’t take much for me to press play on the first of these perfect little podcasts as I’m a huge fan of the Maconie-Alker team anyway.
But like others have said, not only is the content of each episode really interesting and told by genuine music/ culture enthusiasts, the fact that each episode is half an hour long is a really refreshing change too. You’Droveft feeling satisfied and smiling.
I’m recommending this to everyone and hope there are many more episodes to come. Cheers!
A great pairing - 2 people who are knowledgeable about music, serious, funny and articulate. I’ve learned so much about subjects that I hadn’t thought of before. More please!
