Love the way you integrated the interview into the podcast. As ever a wonderful review of a really nice album. Anthony was so modest and great to listen to.
This is indeed the best “The Geese & the Ghost” episode in Podcast History that I’ve ever heard 😉 Thanks for making it possible.
It’s kind of a miracle that this album made its way to existence with all that many delays and the music scenario of the time it was released. Amazing to think that this was just the starting point of one of the most impressive music outputs by any artist that I can think of.
Such an amazing album, intrinsically English, whimsical and delicate. An album that has a deep personal connection for many.
Incredible that this album was released at peak punk in 1977, probably the least 12-string friendly period in recent history….. and yet it survived ok.
Best played at times of reflection.
I would love it if this trio of hosts were to become the new regular “tabletop” for every episode. The chemistry of these three guys works really well together. Definitely my favorite of the trios that have appeared on some episodes since the start of 2021.
