The David Cassidy Connections offers a mix of interviews with fans, friends and colleagues as they reflect on his music and how he influenced their own career path.
Journalist Louise Poynton has been a fan since 1971 and her book Cherish David Cassidy A Legacy of Love is an award-winning finalist in the American Book Fest Best Book awards.
Louise, who for more than 20 years was a Sports Editor on regional newspapers in the UK, invited fans to share their memories of falling in love with him; they explain in raw honesty why he has been so important in their lives.
The podcast, launched in August 2020, takes listeners on a colourful and emotional journey.
Cherish is a project she started working on a couple of years before David died. She was overwhelmed with heartfelt stories from around the world, which not only celebrate his life but paint a picture of the personal journey fans have been through.
Now in a celebration of his life, fans, friends and his peers including Neil Sedaka, explain in their own words how David impacted on them, his influence and friendship; the lasting legacy of love and music he left behind.
These memories, which echo across time, have been written by his fans in their own words, and now they talk in this series about him. Cherish also includes a collection of beautiful poems composed over the past 50 years, many previously unpublished stunning images from professional photographers and portraits drawn by fans.
Every story in Cherish is a singular experience, a thematic journey but when brought together they provide stops on the adventure with David at the heart of everything his fans have ever done.
Hit subscribe and get ready for the journey. Let's make something special happen.

Jim Stevens
Jim Stevens has been a music fan all his life specifically David Cassidy’s vocals with The Partridge Family.
The Beatles were an early influence for him and music has helped him in recent years on a journey of self-discovery. It is well worth checking out his You Tube channel and listen to two of his creative albums BeDo and Connective Energies.
We discuss the pressures of fame, how rock music changed in the 1980s and 1990s and where David Cassidy’s music and reinvention of his career sits in the history of rock music.

Brad Kyle
Brad Kyle is a music enthusiast whose professional career in radio started in 1975 the summer he met David Cassidy. Their interview for his university radio station in Houston, Texas, turned out to be a conversation which allowed David to be relaxed, amusing and honest about his solo career as he embarked on a new career path.
Brad currently provides content on Front Row & Backstage | Brad Kyle | Substack where you will find his full archive of published articles about music and sport.
We talk about his meeting with David, observations of his career, the burden of being marketed to a teenage market, where he places David in the history of American music and his connection with Judy Garland and The Sex Pistols.
Customer Reviews
Thank you for validating David Cassidy
I love this pod cast. I am stunned by the types of people who’ve had such a variety interactions with David beyond his fans and none of them has forgotten them. I never really thought about it! I just thought everyone was like me— a once little girl who adored him and his music. But this podcast reminds me of the depth of reach of David. Now THAT’S a legacy! Now THAT’S connection!!! Thank you Louise!
Jesse Jackson
I am afraid I can’t understand why anyone might interview a “fan” of David Cassidy’s who didn’t even know him.I get he was “inspired” but so were a lot of people.I guess I am more interested in those people who actually knew David and can add to our understanding of him as a person. It’s kind of like that game 6 degrees from Keven Bacon, which everyone is, if everyone who knew who David was or listened to his music is interviewed.I was disappointed.Some are not personal “Cassidy Connections”
I love David Cassidy!
This is such great podcast! I waited on David a few times and he was a peach. This is a wonderful remembrance of the man. Thank you for starting this podcast!
