  • Very soothing listen

    I love this podcast and there’s one thing that bothers me that I feel compelled to say. I feel like Ben polices Ione’s “tangents” which honestly don’t even feel like tangents to me, they just feel like a natural way of telling a story. And he even does that to himself a little bit. This is actually a testament to how much I like the podcast that I want to hear more and every time he moves it along faster I wish he wouldn’t. Anyway love you both!

  • The perfect antidote

    Have just discovered this podcast and thoroughly enjoying the sweet and funny banter between these two, their observations of pop culture, and their insider stories from the music/ film/ arts scene. Looking forward to reading Ione’s memoir and seeing Ben on tour again.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hanging with Gerry Beckley (America)
Q: Tell us a George Martin story.
Beckley recalls meeting Martin when America needed a new producer after their third album, and how Martin's focus and speed—tracking three songs a day with a top-tier team including engineer Geoff Emerick—helped birth a prolific collaboration. Martin's practical, blunt approach and willingness to let the artists lead at times created a productive tension that yielded lasting hits like Tin Man and Lonely People, and later Sister Golden Hair.
Listener Question: Favourite Flight Memories?
Q: Yes. Hi, this is from Sunit, and the question is, do you have any good memories of good flights?
The hosts respond with personal anecdotes, including a flight beside Flavor Flav and pilots opening conversations that became memorable moments, as well as reflections on beautiful cockpit views and the sometimes chaotic but human side of air travel.
Listener Question: Athleticism vs Acceptance
Q: Nick asks whether you compete with yourself and how you cheer yourself on when you win.
We both acknowledge a deep, ongoing competitiveness with ourselves, aiming to deliver the best work while trying to stay present and creatively engaged, and we discuss balancing ambition with acceptance and celebration of small wins.
Talking Oscars with Alexei Toliopoulos
Q: Timothée Chalamet, too young to win Best Actor?
I think he has a really good body of work and is a strong contender for Best Actor.
Talking Oscars with Alexei Toliopoulos
Q: What do you think about the nominations, Ione?
I was kind of into it. I've seen five out of 10 of the nominations.
