<p>This is part two of a two-part podcast based on an interview I did with Tom for The Irish Times in 1992. Towards the end of the interview I apologise for asking "cheeky and challenging" questions and it says, "it's best, it makes it interesting!" Toom Jones clearly had no problem addressing questions such as his reputation as a 'hammer man", the feminist response to his work, if he was a "bastard" to women, and if fans are reduced to passive fantasists.  This is a Tom Jones interview unlike any other - apart for the others we did! </p>
