In Paul Weller: The Music That Made Me, the first podcast of this two-podcast series, Weller and I looked back over the music that made him who he is. In this tape from a print interview done for The Irish Times the same day, he is more contemplative as we look back on his days with The Jam and Style Council, joke about "the nadir" of his life being miming with U2 on Top of the Pops, fatalism, drinking, his daughter, love spiritual voids and art and allowing one's self, as a man, to be vulnerable. Arguably Paul Weller as you never heard him before and probably won't again- unless we do another interview!!!
