- Merlin Holland
Just listened to Merlin Holland on Radio Oldie in conversation with Harry Mount. This is brilliant and podcasting really at its best, had me hanging on every word. I can’t quite put my finger on Merlins magic but the magic is definitely there. Very special episode. Good job to Harry, obviously.
