Best interview so far!!! Paul Bacon is the only person I think that so far “Your Dad is more successful than Richard”.

This revert and reboot to the longer form interview is just so soothing 🥰
Richard 🥓 has such a gifted style with guests - it’s so easy to listen to.
Just change the title of the show - it makes very little sense to the listener 🧐
Workshop it with your producers and some randoms in the pub.
You’ll come up with something waaay more fitting 🌟🌟
