AlasdairDickson ,

Best music-radio discovery in aeons!

Vish Khanna is a really engaging, thoughtful interviewer; his warm and friendly demeanour could disarm the most awkward interviewee. (See Bill Callahan.) So far I’ve most loved the Meg Remy and Matt Sweeney interviews and Khanna’s moving and extensive 2019 special dedicated to the late, much-loved David Berman. The introduction to Tuns, via Khanna and his son’s interview with the band, was invaluable also.

Amazing Podcast Five Stars!

Vish Khanna manages to get unique, in-depth interviews in a layed back comfortable atmosphere. His enthusiasm for the people he interviews is apparent and makes for informed and interesting conversation. Cant wait to hear more

Great podcast

Really great podcast, some excellent guests. Any chance of another crack at a Jim O'Rourke interview?
