“The Rosebud podcast is one of my favourites, but this particular episode is hilarious. Twiggy & Gyles are like a comedy double act! Keep up the good work Gyles: you’re great company and this podcast brightens my week.”

“Fantastic interview - just shows you should not judge a book by its cover. Giles gets the best out of everyone and adds his own stories to complement not dominate the conversations. And he's funny!”Read full review »

“Really enjoy this podcast, it’s a little old- fashioned and charming which matches the nostalgia brief. Gyles’s rich voice and the genuine fascination he has for his guests and their stories makes it a must listen. Rupert Everett, Charles Dance and Michael Palin episodes stand out 👌🏼.”

“I think the reason why Rosebud is so good is because Gyles is genuinely curious about people. He wants to know the answers himself, not just for his audience, and that comes across. Also, you feel he cares about the interviewee and wants to ensure the experience is pleasant for them. I appreciate...”Read full review »

“Rosebud is the perfect antidote to the ghastly news we hear every day and Gyles’ lack of cynicism and fascination in his guests is a complete joy. Rosebud is my go-to podcast at the end of each week - Lulu’s pod is an absolute treat; they should have a double-act!”

“Loving this podcast series already. Gyles has such a fantastic way of talking to people and asking questions that we often don’t think about.
Alison’s episode was stand out to me and of course the amazing Miriam Margolyes (was so excited to see she was a guest).”
