  • Good guests = good podcast!

    When the guests are good, it’s a great podcast, but it’s let down by the presenter who doesn’t really listen carefully to his guests. You sense he’s urging them to finish an answer so he can get to his next question, so I often feel he misses some golden opportunities to get more out of his guests if he’d responded to what they actually said rather than just ploughed on to his next question.

    It’s also really offputting to hear him typing away while his guests are talking! It sounds like he’s s... more

    Love this podcast, Jim is knowledgeable and an excellent interviewer. His interview with Chris Carrabba is amazing, such a fun listen. He really gets his guests to morph into total fanboys of music and the vinyl LP, it makes it very relatable.
