You probably know by now that I am obsessed with the music press, and so it was it was a treat to speak to Record Collector editor Paul Lester on this episode.

Paul is obsessed with the music press too, and as a former staffer on the forever missed Melody Maker, then pivotal in the creation of Uncut magazine, and now editor of a revitalised Record Collector,  he is perfectly placed to spend an hour talking about where the British music press has been, and where it might go next. I like Paul a lot. I think you might like him too. You can subscribe to his very good magazine here.
