“I absolutely loved listening to Pam talk about her life, she is an absolute delight. Her life growing up was so tough - her story was hard to listen to in parts - it’s truly an example of what can be achieved when you keep going until you find your niche. No careers advice in those days. I...”Read full review »

“You never feel lonely having Rosebud podcasts in your pocket. It’s like carrying “friends” around, there whenever you fancy listening in on a conversation. Gyles’ smooth talking & charm makes for easy listening with guest invitations that are well thought out. All guests offer insightful,...”Read full review »

“Really enjoyed hearing Pam and she came across as such a genuine and warm person.
I really enjoy this series but I did think that Gyles didn’t come across well when laughing at Pam’s tough beginning. I was pleased that she took him up on it because he showed a lack of respect and understanding.”

“Rosebud is just the most wonderful thing. Not only is it entertaining, but I’m learning so much along the way. I thought, particularly, Terry Pendry, Stephen Fry and Miriam Margoyles’ episodes were particularly wonderful. Thank you Gyles!”

“In the world of podcasts, Gyles Brandreth uses his own style to interview his friends, a humorous reflection on the lives of his interviews, a breath of fresh air, a career of with diversions of politics and a healthy contribution to the world of satire over the years.”

“Gyles is such a great interviewer and gets some real depth and authentic conversations from his guests, while interjecting a few of his own anecdotes into the conversation as well.
It is such a refreshing podcast with some really moving; and thought provoking questions. So worth it.”
