A bonus before the weekends podcast episode. It's Readipop Weekend and thanks to friend of the pod Pete Wheeler over the last year or so we've had two fantastic guests in Steve Collazo from Odyssey and Fullee Love aka Soup from Jurassic 5. Steve and his band played Readipop 2018 and the interview was conducted in May of that year and the Fullee Love Collective will perform on Friday night at Readipop 2019. The interviews have previously been published as part of our podcast but we thought we'd have another listen ahead of a big musical weekend.


Tickets for Readipop are available at www.readipop.co.uk/readipopfestival For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
