Customer Reviews
#TopTip! ❤️
Really love Martyn's interviews
Ignore any of the naysayers - particularly those bleating on about 'too Left' lol or 'too much talking' - they’re talking absolute rubbish
Martyn has done some amazing interviews with some absolutely pivotal musicians, producers and artists.
I LOVE Martyn's easy and conversational style ❤️
Please be quiet!
Really looking forward to cathi unsworth interview. She has written a brilliant informative book with a great musical and political perspective.. .. and I’m not even a Goth fan!
Unfortunately Martin was up to his old and irritating tricks of dominating the interview with his views and opinions about himself mainly which are usually rehashed every episode. Let the guest speak! I won’t be listening again as his interviewing ‘ technique’ never changes…
Mixed, some great interviews, some not so good.
The host is very likeable on the whole, and when he’s on form quite amusing. But there are some really cringey David Brent style moments when he tells guests they can swear, then actively try’s to encourage them. Definitely wants to be seen as hip and outrageous at times, shame, because it’s very contrived like the luvies on the Graham Norton show trying to be cool, by swearing. The Kim Wilde episode is very good.
