Neil had been contacted by Jason Barnard to do a Podcast.
Who? we hadn’t heard his name before but very thankful we have discovered Jason AND that he is one of the music world’s best kept secrets. And brilliant at interviews – well he got a lot of interesting stuff out of Neil thats for sure.
His website is a major find.
The Strange Brew highlights particular themes in rock music from the mid 1960s to the present day. It is one of the The Daily Telegraph’s podcasts you need to be listening to, one of Podcast & Radio’s Best Music Podcasts to Listen to in 2022, in Radio Today’s five of the best classic rock podcasts, preserved in the British Library Sound Archive and one of the Top 30 Rock and Roll Podcasts You Must Follow in 2022.
Jason writes for Record Collector and Shindig magazines
RadioToday “Barnard seems to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of the last half-century or so in rock music, and again it’s a situation where the host is a huge boon to the show’s appeal. One of the elements we like most is its attention on the unsung heroes of rock. So, you’ll get podcasts about David Bowie’s drummer, or maybe a sound engineer who worked on recording a classic album. Brilliant stuff.”
It’s worth having a look at his site. His work can be found on Apple Podcasts, which you can download and listen offline, like, when you’re driving.
