  • Bittersweet and enlightening

    Having being a fan of the Happy Mondays for 35yrs it’s thrilling to discover new perspectives and stories about the band from Paul, who by his own admission gave very few interviews in the past. He lived in the shadow of Shaun, but I think he preferred it that way! I’m glad he was able to put his story across and set the record straight, especially on issues with his brother. more

  • Time to call it

    Love the Mondays, and have enjoyed the early episodes, but it’s beginning to feel as though it’s being dragged out a bit and dare I say it, starting to get a bit boring

  • Magnificent

    In places, funny and moving, but a podcast that you will not be able to stop listening to. Paul has a compelling story to tell and Angela is a brilliant at getting Paul to retell his life and the events that shaped the extraordinary moments and people that made it happen.

Been a Mondays fan since 89, when as a 14 year old I first heard wrote for luck and then the album bummed. my enjoyment is edged with sadness, because he’s not around to see how much people are interested and enjoying hearing him tell his story. It’s double double sad that he died just days after telling his tale. It’s a must listen. Warts and all. Never heard anything l... more
