  • Some pretty decent interviews, particularly Eric Idle.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the Eric Idle interview. He’s so bright and sparky and on the ball and it was a proper, engaged conversation, not him just rolling out a bunch of tired old anecdotes. Fresh and interesting. It can be a bit hit and miss, this podcast, often down to a function of interest. But for me, this was a standout. I’m not even a big Python fan.

    Eric Idle chat is probably the best chat he’s had!! I was moved to tears. I had no idea Eric Idle was such an adorable man and what a genuine speaker. Buckles is so good at getting people into a natural relaxed state of mind. So so glad he got the best of Eric which he tends to do with most of his guests. When will Francis Rossi come on the show!?!? Surely there’s room for some Quo bants?!
