Let your guests finish their sentences.

Love the pod, guys. Always fun and enlightening. Thanks for the words about Andy Kershaw. I saw Pete Paphides’ column about Andy and he mentioned interviewing Andy for Word Magazine back in the day. Which leads me to the question: Has Pete ever appeared on Word In Your Ear?

Great lineup of music guests then these two act like stoned beavis and butthead. The laugh and giggle constantly AT the guests answers not with them. In fact several guests actually say “I don’t know why you’re laughing, I’m serious.”They often interrupt and talk over the guests. Too bad. I’ll listen elsewhere. Heh heh heh

Outstanding.

Maybe the host was very excited to talk to the guest, but maybe also he could calm down, because interrupting the interviewee multiple times when he's answering you is very annoying. Then they put the ad break literally in the middle of a sentece. Poor.

Snobby

What a brilliant listen Jah Wobble’s brief experience on the Underground was….especially the bit where he was training as a guard/driver. More pop stars in public transport job stories please.

Make it shorter, much of the ‘banter’ is excruciatingly dull.

Love the guests, love the info… but for god’s sake will you two rude old farts LET YOUR GUESTS FINISH THEIR SENTENCES!! Go back and listen to how many times you interrupt a perfectly interesting train of thought or comment from your guests with another question.

Always loved this podcast. Still amazing, insightful, educational, great guests. But that infernal acoustic intro/outro is ear-piercing & louder than the voices we love to listen to (mark & david’s). Can some high-end be EQ’d out, or bring level down just a touch? Thankfully those bumpers are short. Love David’s theories he comes up with, and he’s usually always right. Stackwaddy game never disappoints!

Great Podcast!

I like the podcast and even find it, but they talk about the Beatles a lot, and I mean a lot.

Still hugely enjoyable after all these years. Rapidly getting into Grumpy Old Men territory but all the better for it.

Like a particularly good afternoon down the pub with two old mates (two knowledgeable, opinionated and funny old mates). Life-affirming and delightful -- and they probably always get their rounds in.

I’ve been listening to the Word in Your Ear podcast since it was the Word podcast and I was a subscriber to the magazine. I really enjoy Mark and David’s take on music and culture and I know you will. They really know what they’re talking about and they do it in a funny and insightful way. I count this podcast, the Sodajerker on Songwriting and the Rockonteurs as just mandatory musical info and enjoyment. I’m always happy when I see a new episode has been uploaded.
