In this episode, I am joined by Broadcaster & Journalist
- John Wilson

It's amazing to hear so many passionate stories of his love of
The Jam (thanks Aunt Liz!) - it's an out-pouring of emotions,
memories and envy inducing tales from a master story-teller!

As one of the regular presenters of Front Row - the Radio 4 arts
programme, John specialised in music-related interviews for the
programme with the likes of Ray Davies, David Bowie, Paul
McCartney, Elton John and Kate Bush - whilst also interviewing
Paul Weller on many occasions on the show.

In 2007, he worked with Paul to create the book Suburban
100 - which saw Paul share his reflections on his lyrics,
offering candid insights to his writing process and the
inspiration behind some of pop music's best loved songs.

In 2012 - Paul Weller guested on his Radio 4 Music Programme
Mastertapes - discussing a career-defining album in front of a
live audience (Paul selected The Gift) which also featured a
previous podcast guest (Teenage Waitress - Daniel J Ash)

In recent years, Paul has been a guest on John's 'These Three
Songs' Podcast and John has returned the favour by interviewing
him for the Making of True Meanings Documentary.
