“Really looking forward to cathi unsworth interview. She has written a brilliant informative book with a great musical and political perspective.. .. and I’m not even a Goth fan!
Unfortunately Martin was up to his old and irritating tricks of dominating the interview with his views and opinions...”Read full review »

“The host is very likeable on the whole, and when he’s on form quite amusing. But there are some really cringey David Brent style moments when he tells guests they can swear, then actively try’s to encourage them. Definitely wants to be seen as hip and outrageous at times, shame, because it’s very...”Read full review »

“Really love Martyn's interviews
Ignore any of the naysayers - particularly those bleating on about 'too Left' lol or 'too much talking' - they’re talking absolute rubbish
Martyn has done some amazing interviews with some absolutely pivotal musicians, producers and artists.

“Listening to Electronically Yours makes me feel like a true in-the-know music insider. With Martyn Ware as my guide I am learning so much about the artists and industry professionals who don’t always get a spotlight turned on them. From legends like Moby to the avant- guard such as Scanner (Robin...”Read full review »

“I used to tune in for the guests but Martyn has a tendency to make each podcast all about himself and this limits how much we explore each artist.”

He does ask interesting questions and his music experience does guide the conversation engagingly at times. However producer/editor your job is to keep Mr Ware in...”Read full review »

“How this has run for 100+ episodes is beyond me. Ware has to be the worst interviewer/host I've heard. If I'd started listening within the first dozen or so episodes I'd have thought, 'Yeah, he's new to this, he'll get better' but I started in the 60s. So poor.”Read full review »

“Love Human League, Heaven 17 etc, but sadly, Martin is not really the best when it comes to interviewing skills. Long pauses, focusing on self rather than the guest, random questions which smack of ‘emergency’ questions. I will keep listening because this podcast fills a definite gap in the...”Read full review »

“Conversations about electronic music
with and by people who created and continue to create it.
Sometimes gossipy and funny, sometimes nostalgic, but overwhelmingly fascinating.
If you have ever danced or listened to electronic music in any of its forms, this show is for you.”
