   Ralph McTell

   Despite well over 50 years as a singer/songwriter, Ralph McTell, now a great-grandfather is remains youthful, witty, charming, and polite. It was a pleasure to interview him for Favourites. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.

   Josh Groban

   Recorded via Zoom in December 2025, the first five minutes of the interview were sadly lost. Nonetheless Josh Groban was his charming, good natured self in this chat. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.

   Toni Lamond

   In 2010 I had a different podcast in which I interviewed guests and also aired the chats on 3AW when I filled in hosting the overnights programs for Keith McGowan and Alan Pearsall. On 24 Sep, 2010 I was lucky enough to interview Toni Lamond. The previous podcast feed has long gone, so with Toni's passing on Nov 29, 2025 I thought I'd share it here. Hosted on Acast.
