The new interview for July 3 is not on here. It is just the old interviews, which are great. But I’d like to hear Alex interview him on the new Album and maybe Arrow. By the way, Alex is one of the best interviewers I have heard on either side of the Atlantic. I’m from California.
Thanks Kathleen, brand new interview coming Tuesday next week! x
I just listened to the interview. Good, insightful questions. Thanks, Alex. You’re the best!
