  • Delightful

    A warm, witty, engaging, sad, funny, interesting insight - brilliantly steered by Angela who manages to elicit the best out of Paul - a must for all Mondays fans.

    The lack of involvement from Shaun makes it even more poignant.

  • 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.

  • 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.
