Even though I’m not a huge fan of The Fall, these episodes are like gold dust. Hearing people like Paul Simpson talk about those times is a real pleasure.

I’m not a massive fan of The Fall but they provide a really good angle for some guests you wouldn’t necessarily hear on other pods and the Hanleys are warm and welcoming hosts.

Somehow found out the brothers had a podcast via the We are The Fall podcast (equally great, but of course, a different/listener perspective!). Love listening to Paul and Steve! Pure love of music.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I think the Episode of Ian Brodie may be the ultimate. Have you had John a peel on yet?
