“In Desert Island Discs, Kirsty Young absolutely excelled- for me, the best of all the interviewers to have helmed that show.
This podcast takes a similar but more focused approach to a specific time in the subject’s life ( and without the music, obviously) but KY’s skill, incisiveness, empathy and curiosity is in full evidence and she is able to go outside that time to get a wider picture of her subjects. Wonderful to have her back.
Going forward, I hope that this show will mirror DID’s approach to featuring guests you may have heard of and guests you will never have heard of as that has always been one of DIDs strengths, but regardless, this is a must listen.
( and as someone who has worked in Radio for 35 years, it’s also wonderful to hear that superb voice once again!).”
