  • Inspiring and insightful

    My new favourite podcast. What a joy it is to hear these extraordinary artists describe their musical histories with such honesty and candour. Keith's appreciation and knowledge of music shines through every question he raises, and his guests generally respond by engaging in conversation that is equal parts reflective, philosophical, and galvanising. In my opinion, this podcast is entitlted to the very same degree of success and longevity as its subjects.

  • Brilliant interview

    The Crowded House episode might just be one of my favourite Neil Finn interviews. Questions stayed away from the obvious, and Neil sounded like he genuinely enjoyed the chat. Not an easy thing to do, well done 🙌

  • Insightful and inspirational

    I think one of the finest compliments I can pay this podcast is that I find the episodes about artists I know relatively little about just as enjoyable as the ones about artists whose music I’ve loved for years (ok, decades).

  • Insightful reflections on the Rollercoaster world of music survivors

    So this is fast becoming my favourite music related podcast. It does what no other podcast seems to do, and that is to discuss the highs and inevitable pitfalls of the rock survivor. Looking at a music career from an alternative lens requires a podcaster who has experience of this business but also asks really engaging questions and builds a natural rapport with the guest. Well Keith absolutely nails this. Highly recommend!

The Art of Longevity Episode 85: Idlewild, with Roddy Woomble
Q: What's your reflection on the idea of success for a band right now?
Success is defined purely by the individual and is about the work you create together, not financial gain.
The Art of Longevity Episode 85: Idlewild, with Roddy Woomble
Q: How did you feel when everything seems to be happening for the band?
It was a gradual process and we felt prepared, but also had an unprofessional attitude towards things.
The Art of Longevity Episode 84: The Charlatans, with Tim Burgess
Q: Is there a healthy living aspect to that?
I stopped taking drugs and drinking at age 38 because I wanted to do it pre-40.

Q: Tim, what point did you become a little bit more disillusioned, let's say?

Q: What are you most proud of?
Probably that I'm still just doing this, because there were times at the beginning where I was like, wow, this is intense and I thought I might sack this all in, and now I'm here on album six and people still seem to be interested.
