    Sep 24 2025
    Buddy Ascott talks about playing with Tony Fletcher in The Dear Boys, being sacked by his previous band and not knowing why, The Who’s influence on The Chords, offering his drumming services to The Who when he was 18, the large Mod audience that followed The Chords through word of mouth, recording BBC radio sessions for John Peel, his love for The Who By Numbers and why it’s an underrated album, and drunkenly heckling The Who and ending up in their dressing room in the same night.

    Dan Epstein – music journalist, author and podcaster
    Sep 10 2025

    Dan Epstein talks about co-writing the autobiography of cult band Redd Kross, jamming with Roger Daltrey at the Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp in Las Vegas and leaving in a wheelchair (the two things aren't connected!), the effect that first seeing The Kids Are Alright had on him, seeing spiritual elements within ‘A Quick One, While He’s Away’, attempting to be an edgy music journalist and writing negatively about the band for Ugly Things magazine in his early 20s, and how FM radio was the ideal platform for increasing The Who’s popularity in America.

    Andy Neill – Who author and historian
    Jul 30 2025

    Andy Neill talks about writing and curating the new book Their Generation: The Who in America 1967–69 and how it came about, photographer Tom Wright’s role and importance in The Who’s history, the light-hearted elements of The Who’s music through the years, the band’s struggle to initially break America, his involvement in the upcoming Live at the Oval 1971 album, the long process behind the album’s release, and why The Who are being inexplicably overlooked as a live band.

    Plus: Paul attends the opening night of Quadrophenia: A Mod Ballet at Sadler’s Wells and gets very close to saying something stupid to Pete Townshend.

    Mandy Moon – Keith Moon's daughter
    Jul 16 2025

    Mandy Moon talks about being personally affected by the recent California wildfires, becoming a grandmother for the first time, the chaos surrounding her childhood, realising that her dad was famous because of her schoolteachers, her memories of some of Keith Moon’s friends, her childhood band and learning to play drums as an adult, seeing Keith for the last time and learning of his death, her struggles with drug and alcohol dependency, how people react to finding out she’s Keith Moon’s daughter, and pulling strings to obtain One Direction tickets.

    Plus: Paul looks back on Who-related stuff that’s been going on since Season One ended – not only for the band, but in his personal life too – including a trip to the Cavern Club, sharing pizza with Roger Daltrey’s solo band, and the ever-confusing Zak Starkey saga.
