  • 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!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Art of Longevity Season 12, Episode 4: Amy Macdonald
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.
The Art of Longevity Season 12, Episode 4: Amy Macdonald
Q: Was there a moment where you thought, right, I need to learn how to say no?
I've learned to trust myself, and it's alright to just say no, I'm not comfortable with that, and it's important to surround yourself with good people that you can trust.
The Art of Longevity Season 12, Episode 4: Amy Macdonald
Q: Did you think you would get this far?
I didn't really have any expectations, but I think I've been very lucky that with the success I've had, I don't need to do this, yet I really enjoy my work and the camaraderie of my band.
The Art of Longevity Season 11, Episode 7: Matt Berninger
Q: How do you work? Are you prolific and have all these ideas that are just like sketches that you pull together? Or are you trying to pull together the perfect 10 songs and agonizing?
I have tons and tons of ideas, and I'm always opening up folders that have people's names on them and try to free associate to get to them.
The Art of Longevity Season 11, Episode 5: Deacon Blue, with Ricky Ross
Q: How do you see your relationship with the music industry now versus then?
They no longer have much relationship with the music business beyond the individuals they work with, focusing instead on audience engagement and media relationships.
