“I came across this majestic podcast quite by chance when catching Scott on the equally outstanding Glass Onion (John Lennon) podcast hosted by self-effacing, well-researched Antony Rotunno.
They made such a brilliant duo & that I had to check out Scott’s other podcasts and immediately settled into Rainbow Valley on afternoon walks in wet & wild Yorkshire.
And what a fabulous accompaniment they have made whilst listening through my headphones on bracing country walks.
The production values are second to none, detailed research is never-less-than- enlightening and, best of all, Scott’s softly spoken, calm yet authoritative voice makes for an exceptionally enjoyable listening experience.
In just one week I’ve learned more than I ever knew about the Profumo Scandal; Great Train Robbery; David Frost’s epic skewering of ‘Dr’ Emile Savundra; suave voiced Matt Monro; the tragically brief life of Tammi Terrell; Brian Epstein’s genius in keeping the greatest band in history fully focussed (underlining how quickly they lost the plot after his passing); the making of the trailblazing Sgt Peppers album & so much more.
Surpassing everything, though, was the yearly review of 1964 complete with so many quality musical inserts that it merely underlined what a special year it was for emerging talent.
It was so good that it has made me hold back on listening to the other yearly reviews (1960-63) so I can savour them for a later date.
Lockdown is proving a tremendously depriving hardship for so many of us after almost a year, in January 2021, but one of the positives has been the emergence of many high quality podcasts for the discerning.
I have come to cherish dozens but none more than the magnificent Rainbow Valley.
Thank you for what are clearly time-consuming efforts in the recording studio that maintain this gold standard.
And please keep them coming, Mr Phipps !”

“Rainbow Valley podcasts is one of the better means of entertainment, this side of the Internet! Informative, Riveting, Captivating, and if I could find another adjective on the top of my head I’d used it! Couldn’t recommend this podcast any higher even if I could”
