Join me as I talk about my life and what is rambling around in my head.

The first question that most people ask when I reveal I have recorded nearly 500 episodes of this podcast is "surely you must have run out of things to talk about by now?" Well this week's TCD (...sorry Lucy) is a perfect example of how we have got t... more
Now you might be wondering why this chapter of TCD (...sorry Lucy) has turned up a little bit early, because let's be honest we don't have a reputation for being this on the ball.

Please please please please please please please please take out the 3 bell chimes out at the beginning of each podcast. I wear ear pods working round the house and these 3 pings are going to kill my hearing.
Apart from that excellent podcast. Funny and interesting.
Excellent Chapter. Vibes needs to be on more future chapters
I don’t know any other singer who lets his fans get to know him or her THAT well, it is my pleasure to live in the same time zone with this man and his brilliant speaking and singing voice, everyone needs their peace somewhere…
I used to be a purple but I got increasingly fed up with the mindless and ill prepared ramblings. This podcast is at its best when H is called upon to answer a real and proper serious question or address a theme in an album. H’s reflective, informative moods are superb, but guys if you have nothing to talk about maybe don’t do a podcast that week. The number of episodes of inane warbling led me to cancel my subscription some time back which is a shame, as I love H.
I do wish Ant would simmer d... more
Highlight of my week when this podcast drops. Always an amusing and entertaining listen. Thanks H and Steve!

Two long-running, conversation-driven music shows featuring candid stories from a renowned rock vocalist and his witty co-host. Episodes blend diary-style reminiscences, behind-the-scenes tour anecdotes, and deep dives into music-making, archival reissues, and the realities of life on the road. Expect humorous banter, personal reflections, and occasional forays into broader world topics, all delivered with a relaxed, pub-chat vibe and a strong sense of camaraderie between two seasoned hosts. The format often centers on intimate conversations with guests from the music world, and the show frequently explores process, memory, and the human side of creativity, making it a standout for fans of artist-centric storytelling and backstage detail.
