"This is simply brilliant writing, especially the way in which he makes the reader complicit. Classically painted, pure American perversion."

Brilliant podcast made up of the best bits from each week of Danny's breakfast show on XFM. Brilliant features, great banter with guests and colleagues and just great, heart-warming silliness.
To my mind this is the perfect structure for a comedy podcast and brilliantly delivered week in, week out.

"I’m just obsessed by Lionel Bart. He’s just an amazing character. When you get someone like him who really understood Dickens, you’re away, it’s a chain of brilliant people. I think these songs are very similar to what dad was writing, I mean he pre-empted him, Lionel Bart, but ‘Pam’s Moods’ and Oliver are really similar in the construction of language. The language is so fucking brilliant in Oliver, the melodies, it’s just unbelievable songwriting. That 1960 production, Ron Moody who plays Fagin is particularly brilliant."

Currently reading Margaret of Anjou by Conn Iggulden. Brilliant book and true to the reality. I'm a mad historical fiction fan.
