- Auld white fellas talking to each about the Music Press
It’s like a less cranky, less reactionary version of the “Word in your Ear” podcast. S’good.

Ireland6 months ago - Careening rapidly downhill
This was a great podcast. Unfortunately post pandemic it’s gotten away from what made it great—interviews with great writers who told interesting stories. That combined with cohost Mark “Yeah Yeah” Pringle makes it now unlistenable for me.

Seems this chaps inability to use the letter t hasn’t impeded his career as a music journalist, perhaps his compuder has autocorrect. Just as well he wasn’t attempting to write about equestrianism.
Doubtless he’ll blame his working class upbringing, possibly bullshid.

Brilliant podcast. These guys love music and those who write intelligently about it. They have deep knowledge of their subjects but speak with humility and humor.
Wish the ratings went up to 11 because they deserve it.
Apple Podcasts5in cale we trustUnited States9 months ago - Great resource of information
The in depth conversations are great,the hosts have lots of knowledge. The one annoyance is that horrid laugh that one of the hosts overdoes. He should listen back to some of the shows.
