  • I love this podcast

    There is so much good to say about this podcast. I read Justin’s Old Weird Albion and got his album with Ghost Box records, Chanctonbury Ring, so I was bound to like what he does here.

    He is so lyrical and gentle and brings out the best in his guests with a few words here and there.

    I don’t know if he would call it psychogeography, or if that’s even a fashionable term these days, but it’s all about the spirits of places.

    Great listening, I can’t praise it enough.
