Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Robin McAuley on Michael Schenker, McAuley Schenker Group and Black Swan
Q: How did Robin first connect with Michael Schenker?
Robin describes a chance meeting that evolved into a long songwriting collaboration, with a pivotal moment being a rehearsal period that grew into a full partnership and later a rebranded project.
Steven Wilson Interview - “There’s progressive, and there’s PROG".
Q: Do you think we're in a golden age of sound quality but a fragile age of musical value?
He discusses the two extremes in listening habits: widespread streaming on small devices vs a growing niche for high-resolution audio, emphasizing that convenience often wins over quality, though passionate audiophiles keep the high-end market alive.
Steven Wilson Interview - “There’s progressive, and there’s PROG".
Q: What inspired Headphone Dust and how does it fit within the market for physical editions?
Steven explains Headphone Dust fills a gap between limited-edition physical releases and streaming, enabling Atmos and high-resolution audio access for a broader audience without the need for mass physical reissues.
Steven Wilson Interview - “There’s progressive, and there’s PROG".
Q: When you write The Overview, are you thinking in stereo or in multi-channel from the start?
Steven says he considers both: he writes with the spatial mix in mind but knows most listeners will experience stereo, which leads him to ensure a strong stereo foundation while exploring immersive formats.
Kenney Jones on Small Faces, Nice Records & the Future of Classic Reissues
Q: Is there anything else on the horizon beyond Ogdens and Autumn Stone?
Yes, several projects are in the works, including Humble Pie box sets with live and rehearsal material, a Kenney Jones acetate project, Danish picture sleeves in a box set, and multiple small-faces releases slated for later in the year, indicating a busy and varied pipeline.
