An absolute honour to have Richard Evans as a guest on my podcast — a man who’s worked for The Who for nearly 50 years and whose design work is probably on at least one album cover from your record collection

I never could’ve imagined my podcast featuring a story that involves being “Rock-blocked” on stage by a professional Rod Stewart impersonator, but I’m here for it

I’ve never had the chance to play at the 100 Club as a musician, but interviewing someone on stage about their new Who book is a pretty good consolation

If you’re a Who fan and able to get into London, then you’ll love Who’s Next

I had a delightful hour-long chat with Bets Crockett about the opening night of The Who’s North American farewell tour, which also veered off towards kissing strangers in merch queues and, for some reason, Bill Oddie

Out with my dear old mum to see Robin Trower at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire tonight. A nice meal and drink in the Sindercombe Social beforehand, and now a cheeky pre-gig pint in the Empire bar, where I spotted a collage of the night (before) I saw The Who here in ‘99

It’s great to now have multiple people in my life who I can be nerdy about The Who with who are even nerdier about the band than I am

And what do you do with all that Who nerdiness? Why, you stick it on YouTube, of course!
