  • Best music pod going

    This is what I LOVE about a decent music podcast. Stu’s question format is perfect…just enough guidance, encouraging the artist to speak freely, relax into conversation, then the listener ends up getting a good feel for the human behind the music.

    Each episode will leave you with a whole stack of new music to go on the hunt for. Highlight eps include Ed Harcourt, Pixies, The Hold Steady / Craig Finn.

  • Off the beat and track

    This is a very important podcast if you like music without prejudice, hear the influences behind some of your favourite artists, hear music that you may not ever know exists, this maybe, musically, the most important podcast that has been created, given the fact we are fed disposable music, break from conditioning and hear what music means rather than how it sounds

  • Fantastic listen!

    Very guest brings something completely different and it’s really cool to hear the stories and life events attached to the songs. It often reminds me of albums or songs that I love but have forgotten about and most episodes send me down a music related rabbit hole. Highly recommend for music fans!

  • At last, a music podcast actually about music!

    Wonderful song-oriented discussions that yield reflections on so much more. I began with the fascinating Barry Adamson interview and greatly look forward to delving into other episodes.

  • Let’s the guest talk

    I know Stu (not personally) from the Distraction Pieces and saw Fran Healy posting about it. First time listening to it and really enjoyed it. I listen to a lot of podcasts and what you find is the host talks more that the guest and it becomes off putting! This is not the case and Stu let the conversation flow. Off to search the back catalogue now!
