Conducted in a relaxed setting, these interviews see some of Petes favourite artists revisiting the highs and lows of their careers. Interviewees include Allen Toussaint, Linda Thompson, Neil Finn and Jimmy Webb.

The Linda Thompson one was really self aware and quite smart

I'm listening to the Linda Thompson one now. So far it's great.

The Neil Finn one is excellent. I have heard many Finn interviews over the years - this one dug deep and asked some serious questions. Also, good song selection ("Suffer Never" is one of my all-time favourite Neil Finn songs - thanks to the interview I learned that makes me a very certain type of Finn fan - ha!).

Sebmojo: Are they downloadable? Or is it streaming only?
The episodes are served from mixcloud.com, which appears to be streaming-only, but there appear to be many places that will grab it for you. I expect this could change frequently, so the following link will show you the same results that I found: https://www.google.com/search?q=download+mixcloud&safe=active

Very nice; I just listened to the Toussaint interview. The man has always come across in interviews as a perfect gent, but here he shows a great stoic spirit, talking about how much he'd lost after Katrina. He's now gone up even further (if that's possible) in my estimation. Looking forward to the rest.
