The face of a man at 3:50am, waiting for a Zoom video to download having just recorded a live two-hour podcast, feeling slightly delirious, listening to Northern Soul recommendations. Happy Thursday!
An absolute honour to have Richard Evans as a guest on my podcast — a man who’s worked for The Who for nearly 50 years and whose design work is probably on at least one album cover from your record collection
Enjoy!
The latest episode of my Talking About The Who podcast is out now, featuring one of my absolute favourite guests so far, Dan Epstein
I never could’ve imagined my podcast featuring a story that involves being “Rock-blocked” on stage by a professional Rod Stewart impersonator, but I’m here for it
Back in March, I was interviewed for the first (and, so far, only) time ever as host of the Talking About The Who podcast by the fantastic Who-based YouTube channel, Fisher Protocol, and it’s now up on their channel

I’ve never had the chance to play at the 100 Club as a musician, but interviewing someone on stage about their new Who book is a pretty good consolation
If you’re a Who fan and able to get into London, then you’ll love Who’s Next

I had a delightful hour-long chat with Bets Crockett about the opening night of The Who’s North American farewell tour, which also veered off towards kissing strangers in merch queues and, for some reason, Bill Oddie
Enjoy!

Out with my dear old mum to see Robin Trower at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire tonight. A nice meal and drink in the Sindercombe Social beforehand, and now a cheeky pre-gig pint in the Empire bar, where I spotted a collage of the night (before) I saw The Who here in ‘99
A new video has just been released on my @talkingaboutthewho.bsky.social YouTube channel, this one featuring an extract of my podcast interview earlier this year with Who author, photographer and former Pete Townshend website manager, Matt Kent.

My first day of chemo, 4 years ago today. I think wearing my Who T-shirt that day may have been a good omen…

It’s great to now have multiple people in my life who I can be nerdy about The Who with who are even nerdier about the band than I am
And what do you do with all that Who nerdiness? Why, you stick it on YouTube, of course!

That moment when you’re listening to an American import you’ve had since childhood and find out your Who podcast has hit triple figures for downloads in a single day for the first time. Small numbers in the grand scheme of things, but at this early stage in the podcast’s existence, it’s a big win
