“Simon - I love the humour, the softness of your interviews, the diverse range of people passing by your shed, and your voice. You have reawakened this 63 year old to poetry. Don’t stop!”

“Should get your brother deported to America to face his charges of rape on minors just a thought I think it would benefit the wider community. Do you Prince Philip?”

“Please don’t stop. I want these podcasts to go on forever. The poet listens, I listen, he asks a well though out question.

The frog croaks his woody croak.
