- Illuminating and Fascinating
I learned so many things from Pete Brown’s interview. The history of the working men’s club was really worth knowing about, exactly the intention of this podcast. Even though I live in Canada, this podcast made me want to travel to Norwich, visit Burton-on-Trent, and drink Perry. Many episodes are highly engaging, but Brown’s humanistic interests made this one very touching.

I just find it hard to listen to a podcast when the person sounds like they are in a bathroom 2m from the Mic

The concept of this show is deceptively simple, but brilliantly effective because everything mentioned is already curated by the guests. It has brought so many writers,performers, and places to my attention that I would not have known about otherwise. Always interesting.
Apple Podcasts5Buckley ZeusCanada8 months ago - Delightful
Delightful! It’s a bit like Backlisted podcast but for all stuff in addition to books. The conversations are so interesting.

This is such a good idea for a podcast. The host handles things excellently. It works best when the guests choose six disparate items from across their range of interests. A few guests have chosen to talk about one theme in six ways and these episodes are less interesting. I have followed up so many items as a result of listening.
