Love your baritone actor’s voice John and great fun when you are self-deprecating. Been listening to you since 2000 whenever I could. You don’t suffer fools gladly but you are becoming quite empathetic with age. Picked up your book review of James Lee Burke’s latest - I am a huge fan (of both of you). When are you going to write your memoirs? NB Do you read these comments?
It doesn’t matter where on the planet I am but I try to tune in - via Apple Music - to John Maytham on Cape Talk.

Left leaning political rubbish
I can’t wait for John’s show every day. Hi command of the English language is superb and he makes the dullest topic fascinating. He must never leave!
