Customer Reviews
Proper Bo!
What a much needed shot-in-the-soul with fun, interesting, and truly unique interviews with ace bands. James seems to be able to get bands chatting, chat about anything, and it’s just great to be invited to listen in on wherever the chat goes! I’m loving it!
Abrasive host
Listening to this interview with Adam Franklin. The host is subtly caustic from the start. Adam is too much of a gentleman to push back and just ignores it.
Host seems to know almost nothing about music
