- Could be brilliant but……
Great guests and hosts that on their best day do a good job but too often Guy and Gary interrupt too often, try to be funny too hard (they’re not basically funny) and the noise gets in the way of conversation…..The Stewart Copeland episode is painful….

Be good if you can snare one of the rush guys or even both ! Given tour announcement and a fair bit to cover on the back catalogue as well……
Content though continues to be first class. Thank you

Very enjoyable. I’m fine with guy’s interjections, he’s excited to be speaking with the guests. It is meant to be a conversation, rather than a speech.
