When I found Alan Davies on QI, I had to find more. I just listened to the Pat Nevin one; I had saved it for last since I don’t know a thing about football. It was the best one! I also enjoyed the Jo Brand interview and did not get offended by her views about Hollywood as her reasons are very fair.

Cheers, Alan. Long time fan and this podcast is some of your best work. The interviews are captivating. Well done.

Alan Davies does this podcast sooooo well! More than interesting! Hope it will continue.

I enjoy this pod so much. Wonderful concept that allows for very interesting responses from the quests. Alan you have entertained me for years with your acting and comedy skills, thanks for this great podcast.

Well, here I am quite a while after having listened to the Jo Brand episode that I caught on June 22 and with another comment. I am still annoyed at Jo Brand for her childish goings on with regard to how everything American is awful. I hope that I get over it but to listen to her childish comments really soured her wit, insight and generous self-deprecating humor that I have always enjoyed and admired her for. I am having difficulty feeling and thinking of her in the same way that I always have. I guess if she fessed up to what brought all of the very generalized anti-American comments on it would be easier for me to understand. Knowing who or what brought about her anger might help me understand it all a bit better. The thought that anyone could do anything to her to create this, basically, whiny tirade against America and Americans is difficult to imagine. I just don't see Ms. Brand lashing out at an entire society. I am disappointed that someone could get under her wonderfully insightful and sharp intellect to cause this presentation. It has exposed a weakness in Jo Brand that I never expected to encounter. Its personal and irresponsible on her part.

The ‘Seven Pillars’ chosen by each guest provide fascinating and sometimes unexpected insights. Alan Davies is, as expected, a wonderful conversationalist and interviewer. Plus a fantastic and interesting range of guests. Highly recommended.

In this podcast, Alan Davies demonstrates his excellent skills as an interviewer. He researches his guests and their interests, and asks super questions. I look forward to the rest of this series.

Great idea for a podcast, and the perfect host for this.
