Great listen for background to songs

A big variety of songs genres and detail to the background of songs is great , a good laugh as well .

Just brilliant

What a blast. Every episode has a eclectic mix of music choices but the real star is the ease with which Mark does the interviews. Such an easy and entertaining listen. Funny, funny stories with some dark and sad tales but ultimately it gives a real life view of the people telling their stories. This is a must listen.
