really enjoyed all the episodes so far! I went to leave a review on Apple Podcasts but there's no option to do that yet. I'm guessing because you are so new

This is my 40th season following the 49ers from the UK and honestly this is one of the most enjoyable. Just the way they are battling against adversity and the spirit of the whole squad. Total admiration for them this year. Incidentally you and Jennifer are adding greatly to the enjoyment too

You have no idea how much I needed to hear "the first thing you learn is how strong you can be when you have to" this morning. Thank you!

.. along with all the mystery about Kevin’s whereabouts at the time I had really built up it’s importance in my mind. I wasn’t disappointed. I had never heard anything like it. I played it over and over again and I still feel so sad when The Waltz fades out. Just wanted it to go on forever…

and phoned them on the off chance they had one. When I tracked one down I had to send a cheque and wait for it to clear before they’d send the album. It was the vinyl and I can remember listening to it on big headphones and being so excited. It had a sort of revered status amongst Dexys fans and…

I got into Dexys in 1996 and only heard about this album through the Keep on Running fanzine. The lengths I had to go to to listen to it would be laughable to youngsters today! It was non existent in record shops. I remember a Saturday when I went through every second hand shop in Record Collector..

And a fantastic article on Mickey Newbury. So happy that he is finally getting recognition. My mum and dad were huge fans and ‘I came to hear the music’ was the first song I ‘heard’ as a newborn baby! Dad died last year. He’d have loved this article

I ended up buying this boxset despite initially saying there was no way I would. The Mojo review played a very big part in that. The boxset arrived today and I am now very happy with my decision, so thanks!

Rory seemed to be under the misapprehension that he was conducting a job interview. I thought he was very rude
