Jody Linscott talks about playing on the recent UK tour with Roger Daltrey, the planned documentary about her life, holidaying in England in 1971 and deciding not to go home, the differences between touring with Roger nowadays and touring with The Who in 1989, how the music industry is rapidly changing, the importance of art to our well-being, the oversaturation of music in the modern era, and having two children’s books published by Jackie Onassis.

Dante DiCarlo talks about the origins of tribute band Who’s Next and how he came to join, learning to play Who songs and improvise in Pete Townshend’s style, how a website competition helped him perfect the windmill, warnings from nurses at Who’s Next gigs, balancing a tribute band and other musical ventures, and his connection with The Who on a deeply personal level.

Plus: Paul goes to the Cavern Club in Liverpool to see Who’s Next for the first time and nearly breaks his phone in the process.

Andy Neill talks about writing and curating the new book Their Generation: The Who in America 1967–69 and how it came about, photographer Tom Wright’s role and importance in The Who’s history, the light-hearted elements of The Who’s music through the years, the band’s struggle to initially break America, his involvement in the upcoming Live at the Oval 1971 album, the long process behind the album’s release, and why The Who are being inexplicably overlooked as a live band.

Plus: Paul attends the opening night of Quadrophenia: A Mod Ballet at Sadler’s Wells and gets very close to saying something stupid to Pete Townshend.

Mandy Moon talks about being personally affected by the recent California wildfires, becoming a grandmother for the first time, the chaos surrounding her childhood, realising that her dad was famous because of her schoolteachers, her memories of some of Keith Moon’s friends, her childhood band and learning to play drums as an adult, seeing Keith for the last time and learning of his death, her struggles with drug and alcohol dependency, how people react to finding out she’s Keith Moon’s daughter, and pulling strings to obtain One Direction tickets.

Plus: Paul looks back on Who-related stuff that’s been going on since Season One ended – not only for the band, but in his personal life too – including a trip to the Cavern Club, sharing pizza with Roger Daltrey’s solo band, and the ever-confusing Zak Starkey saga.

Matt Kent talks about his entry point to The Who, appearing in a Dave Clark Five movie, his work for the upcoming Who Are You Super Deluxe box set, meeting Keith Moon in 1978, why Who fans are a special breed, how his Naked Eye fanzine became a semi-official fan club, the only time he had to walk out of a Who gig, establishing a friendship with John Entwistle, and how seeing the band live in the 70s was like seeing the Grand Canyon.

Plus: in light of the end of Season One, Paul looks at what’s to come from Talking About The Who before the start of Season Two.

Matt Kent talks about releasing the first Naked Eye fanzine for 22 years, being behind the Who 60th anniversary commemorative stamps from Royal Mail, showing the band members a Track Records compilation that they didn’t know existed, why Quadrophenia will work as a ballet, his pride in co-organising the 1995 Who convention and the difficulties involved, his creativity thriving from working for Pete Townshend, being up close to the ideas behind Lifehouse becoming a reality, and why he walked out on his dream job.

Plus: Paul looks at the recent gig announcements for 2025 and wonders what the potential line-up of the band could look like.
