Podcasts about Wish You Were Here

John Leckie is one of British rock’s greatest producers, who started out as a tape operator at Abbey Road in 1970, thrown immediately into sessions for George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass and John Lennon’s Plastic Ono Band. This interview, conducted live at The CAT Club in September 2025, focuses on Sunburst Finish, the Be Bop Deluxe album that gave Leckie his first official production credit, and covers both the making of the album and his creative partnership with Bill Nelson. Additionally, Leckie gives a first-hand account of Syd Barrett’s unannounced appearance during the Wish You Were Here sessions, an encounter he stumbled into while raiding Pink Floyd’s beer fridge, only for Roger Waters to stop the tape and ask who the stranger standing next to him was. The Q&A session draws out further stories about working with The La’s, the Stone Roses’ debut, and how XTC – who idolised Bill Nelson, led Leckie to leave EMI and go independent.

J'espère que vous aimez le saxophone ! A l'occasion de la présence de l'excellent JOHN HELLIWELL, LE saxophoniste de SUPERTRAMP durant tout ce week-end à Blain (44) dans le cadre du festival MOVIES ON THE ROCKS, la 1ère partie de ce numéro est consacré au Maître de Cérémonie des super clochards. Sans doute l'ultime occasion de voir cette légende dans la région !  A L'origine de ce festival, le nantais ALAN SIMON entre autres cordes à son arc, auteur-compositeur et réalisateur. Donc bien légitime pour organiser cet évènement alliant 7ème Art et rock ! L'occasion de vous faire quelques toiles (dès ce vendredi soir avec "Woodstock") et d'assister à des concerts, notamment de notre John et son "Big Tramp" qui reprendra les grands standards de Supertramp à la sauce jazz, mais aussi CALI et pour la fin en apothéose dimanche soir : Excalibur, le fameux concert mythique (5 albums au compteur depuis sa création par Alan en 1998, qui a réuni autour de la Table Ronde un grand nombre de Ladies et Chevaliers souvent issus de la scène progressive et souvent entendus dans cette émission ! ).  Durant la première demi-heure de cet épisode d'Amarok on retrouve donc John et son instrument sur un extrait live (histoire de vous mettre dans l'ambiance ! ) de SUPERTRAMP, le fameux enregistrement au Pavillon de Paris en 1979 avec un titre vocalement interprété par le regretté Rick Davies, le co-fondateur de la formation qui nous a quittés il y a quelques mois (je vous renvoie au replay du numéro d'Amarok du 11/09/2025, 2ème numéro de la saison qui lui était en grande partie consacrée.). Puis John avec sa formation jazz pour une reprise du répertoire de ses anciens collègues sur l'album "JOHN HELLIWELL' Supertramp Big Tramp" paru l'année dernière. Depuis plusieurs années, John se produit et sort des albums de jazz, avec un son tout à son image sereine, flegmatique à l'anglaise et pour l'avoir rencontré à quelques reprises, charmant et accessible. Bref, il ressemble à sa façon de jouer !  Je ne pouvais pas évoquer ce festival organisé par ALAN SIMON et qui se terminera dimanche soir par des extraits de sa fameuse saga Excalibur, sans vous en proposer un bel exemple ! J'ai choisi un titre issu de l'album le plus récent de l'épopée, le volume V : "Moves, Cry, Act, Clash!" sorti en 2021. Sur cet extrait, John, of course, mais aussi Jesse Siebenberg au chant (le fils du batteur de Supertramp Bob Siebenberg et qui avait rejoint le groupe aux côtés de son père il y a quelques années). Enfin, le magicien de la six cordes , ex-Genesis : STEVE HACKETT himself !  Cette première partie se termine avec PINK FLOYD, dont le guitariste David Gilmour avait été invité sur le titre éponyme de l'album "Brother Where You Bound" de Supertramp paru en 1985. Une fresque déjà incroyable mais que Gilmour avait sublimée ! Le nouveau patron du Floyd invitera à son tour John pour le nouvel album du Floyd "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason" en 1987 et qu'on retrouve donc encore ici. A notez pour l'anecdote que ces deux albums évoqués sont particuliers pour chaque groupe : premier disque sans Roger Hodgon pour l'un et sans Roger Waters pour l'autre …  Laissons John reprendre son souffle pour le festival de Blain.  Mais le dernier titre de cette première partie de l'émission est encore du PINK FLOYD (veinards ! ). Cela dit j'aurais préféré me passer d'avoir à rendre cet hommage. En effet, vendredi dernier, le 22 mai, Dick Parry s'en est allé… Les fans du Floyd savent la contribution que ce saxophoniste a pu apporter sur quelques uns de leurs albums et concerts des 70's : "Dark Side Of The Moon", "Wish You Were Here" et son retour sur l'album "The Divison Bell" en 1994 ainsi que sur le live consécutif "Pulse". J'ai eu la chance d'assister à l'un de ces concerts de 1994, quoi qu'on en dise sur le Floyd post-Waters, c'était fabuleux !  Et puis pour clore cette partie saxo de l'émission, sachez qu'un grand musicien nous a quittés cette semaine : SONNY Rollins (qui s'était illustré aux côtés et entre autres de Miles Davis, Charlie Parker ou encre John Coltrane, nous a quitté ce lundi à l'âge vénérable de 95 ans (le souffle ça conserve !)    Pour la seconde partie de l'émission, on commence avec une plongée les 70's avec CAMEL, vu les températures, voilà un groupe de circonstances, hydratez vous !! A ces fins, je vous ai choisi un extrait de "Rain Dances" de 1977 et l'occasion d'évoquer encore un peu l'instrument guest de la 1ère partie de l'émission puisque cet album est marqué par l'arrivée de Mel Collins au saxo, qui pour expérience sur son CV, peut s'enorgueillir d'y inscrire King Crimson. Collins qu'on retrouvera notamment chez Alan Parsons Project dans les 80's et qui surtout sera demandé par tous les plus grands. On le retrouvera alors dans une liste de collaborations plus grandes que mon bras, et pourtant j'ai le bras long !! L'exploration de l'excellent "Out Of Step" des non moins talentueux ESTHESIS se poursuit avec cette fois, un instrumental, titre de clôture de l'album. Et si Aurélien Goude est à l'origine du projet Esthesis, son auteur-compositeur, ce titre a la particularité d'être co-signé avec ses musiciens talentueux qui font partie de l'esthétique sonore du groupe. Bravo à Arnaud (batterie), Marc (basse), Rémi (guitare) et Mathilde (vocaux) car Aurélien, outre ses capacités d'écriture, a aussi ce talent de réunir les gens compétent nécessaires pour faire fonctionner son projet, comme je vous incite à le constater le 26 septembre prochain à l'Alhambra de Paris 1ère partie des cultissimes IQ  ! Avertissement pour le titre suivant : SUNO est à la manœuvre. Normalement pour moi c'est un gros mot ! Il s'agit en effet du célèbre logiciel de création par IA. Et par principe j'évite d'en diffuser. Toutefois, l'histoire de DICK DER HEIJDE est particulière. Né en 1963, ce musicien néerlandais fut victime d'un AVC à l'âge de 28. Totalement paralysé, cet amateur de rock progressif ne pourra s'exprimer que par clignement de l'œil pour communiquer puis interagir avec un ordinateur. Il deviendra critique musical ayant ,de fait, du renoncer à la pratique musicale.  Mais la technologie apportée par l'IA vient de lui changer la vie en lui permettant par un usage intelligent (humainement), d'exprimer musicalement ses émotions et notamment son syndrome d'enfermement. Alors oui, la production, les instruments et même le chant sont crées artificiellement, mais l'émotion exprimée est bien humaine. Alors après réflexion j'ai décidé de diffuser un extrait de son 1er album, fort justement intitulé  "Locked In". Je n'encourage pas dans Amarok l'usage de l'IA aux fins de création mais dans ce contexte bien précis et touché par l'histoire de Dick,  j'avais à cœur de relayer les émotions qu'il à légitimement souhaité (et je pense réussi) à y véhiculer. Savez-vous que la Lorraine est hardie !! Je sais elle est facile ! En revanche le musicien suivant qui en est originaire est exigent et compétent ! Dans tous les domaines :  production, ingé-son, multi-instrumentiste (même si la guitare reste son jouet de prédilection),  ayant collaboré avec nombre d'artistes tels que Aurore Reichert (Mira Cetii), Ange (et aussi l'ex-Ange Caroline Crozat). D'ailleurs séraphin Palméri,  le nouveau claviériste de la formation qui m'est chère, à participé aux synthés sur le nouvel album de JEAN-PASCAL BOFFO : "Inner World'". Comme sur le précédent opus, Fred Kempf était également de la partie. Encore une très belle réussite de Jean-Pascal que j'ai grand plaisir à vous recommander !  Pour terminer ce dernier numéro du mois, retour sur le JETHRO TULL des années 70, plus précisément en 1971 avec "Aqualung", ici dans sa version dépoussiérée par un savant remixage opéré par Steven Wilson. Si Ian Anderson a relancé l'entreprise il y a quelques années avec de nouveaux musiciens, on a plaisir ici à retrouver un Martin Barre en forme à la six cordes, Maître du barré qui fût d'ailleurs l'un des fameux chevaliers de la Table Ronde de la saga Excalibur d'Alan Simon évoqué en début d'émission ! Ayons tout de même une pensée pour Mick Abrahams, décédé fin 2025. Il était le guitariste d'origine mais ne joua que sur le 1er album du groupe ("This Was" en 1968). AMAROK, chaque jeudi, à 20h

Judith Chalmers has died at the age of 90, bringing to a close one of the most remarkable careers in British broadcasting. In this episode of Mark and Pete, we remember the woman who became the face of travel television and helped generations of Britons discover the wider world long before smartphones, online booking forms and budget airline baggage disputes became part of everyday life.For decades, Judith Chalmers presented Wish You Were Here…?, introducing viewers to beaches, cities, mountains and holiday destinations across the globe. She belonged to an era when foreign travel still felt exciting, slightly glamorous and occasionally mysterious. A package holiday was a treat. The airport was somewhere people actually looked forward to visiting. Strange, but apparently true.Mark and Pete reflect on Chalmers' legacy and ask a slightly awkward question. Why does travelling feel harder today than it did twenty or thirty years ago? We have apps for everything, instant translation, online maps, digital boarding passes and enough technology in our pockets to guide a moon landing. Yet somehow a weekend abroad now involves passwords, security queues, parking charges, delayed flights and an argument with a machine that insists your bag is three millimetres too large.Along the way there is discussion about nostalgia, whether modern convenience is always an improvement, the changing nature of television, and the curious British ability to remember holiday programmes with almost religious affection.#JudithChalmers #Travel #WishYouWereHere #BritishTV #MarkAndPete #CurrentAffairs #ChristianPodcast #Broadcasting #TravelNews #Culture #Commentary #BritishPodcast #TelevisionHistory #Society #FaithAndCulture

Episode 174 – Porcupine Tree Part 5, The Sky Moves Sideways This episode dissects an album that divides opinion. Joe warmed to it despite feeling it stepped back from *Up the Downstair*. Paul and Ken acknowledge early sketches of the band's future sound—Steven Wilson's compositions show promise—yet the record often fades into background music rather than commanding attention. The group examines the album's structural comparison to Pink Floyd's *Wish You Were Here* and debate whether it's intentional influence or derivative. They praise individual musicianship and standout moments (that haunting flute melody in "Phase 1" is genuinely stunning), but critique excessive length and slow development. **Key takeaway:** *The Sky Moves Sideways* captures a band still learning to work as a cohesive unit. It's not terrible—it's a growing pain revealing Wilson's evolving vision. The question: *what comes next?* Curious about how Porcupine Tree evolved from here? **Listen now** to hear the full technical breakdown and storytelling analysis.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we dive into Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here, a haunting and emotional follow-up to The Dark Side of the Moon. From the sprawling brilliance of “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” to the title track's timeless sense of loss and longing, we explore how the album reflects absence, fame, the music industry, and the shadow of former bandmate Syd Barrett. It's a record that feels both massive and deeply personal — one of Pink Floyd's most powerful statements. Support the showBrowse the 33/24 Archives: Check out the backroom!Follow us:InstagramFacebookWatch us on YouTube!

In the final part of our detailed conversation with Greg Taylor, he reflects on the last Pink Floyd concerts he attended during the post-Barrett years, spanning 1969 to 1971. From the early days of the band's pioneering surround sound system at The Dome in Brighton in 1969, Greg takes us through a vivid period of cultural change and personal creative growth. As an emerging avant-garde artist, Greg became increasingly driven to document what he was witnessing, recording live performances, taking photographs, and even capturing footage of Hyde Park 1970 on Super 8 film. Greg's resourcefulness placed him closer to the action than most. Whether blending in with a makeshift press pass or positioning recording equipment on stage, Greg experienced key moments in Pink Floyd's evolution with rare immediacy. One standout memory comes from a bold decision to head backstage during an interval, leading to an unexpected encounter when Richard Wright answered the dressing room door. This concluding episode offers a fascinating, first-hand perspective on a transitional era for Pink Floyd, as they moved through experimentation towards the defining successes that would follow.

PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI, wishes you were here to hear him discuss humour in THE AVENGERS.First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on February 15th 2026.This week PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI himself, is back, although this week we're going to try and get away from the Antipodean content that his recent appearances on VISION ON SOUND have tended to concentrate on, and instead focus on a subject that is almost certainly more familiar to connoisseurs of British archive television: THE AVENGERS, that latterly most quirky of 1960s television drama series.Our idea was to talk about (and hopefully appreciate) the more humorous aspects of this particular show, showing its development and evolution away from its more urban thriller and kitchen sink dramatic roots in the early 1960s, to the urbane, witty, and charming version as seen during its final season in which PATRICK MACNEE's John Steed was paired with LINDA THORSON as Tara King, and PAUL picked out a particular episode that he considered to be one of the more broadly humorous ones for us both to watch.This was WISH YOU WERE HERE, episode twenty of series six, written by TONY WILLIAMSON, and directed by DON CHAFFEY, and, whilst what follows isn't exactly an episode guide-style examination of that show, it did provide us with an excellent prompt for a conversation about humour in TV drama series that includes references to other episodes of THE AVENGERS, THE NEW AVENGERS, DOCTOR WHO, and even CORONATION STREET, and I hope that you find the next hour as entertaining as it was for us to record it, even though PAUL wasn't in the most conducive of places (technically) on the day of recording.PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition. All the spoken word content remains (mostly) as it was in the broadcast version. Hopefully this won't spoil your enjoyment of the show.

In this first installment of our conversation with Greg Taylor, Ian Priston explores what it means to remember a cultural moment from the inside, not as nostalgia, but as lived perception. Greg reconstructs his introduction to Pink Floyd through a series of encounters: a poster on King's Road, the underground press, the first shock of a single, and the genuinely unfamiliar experience of the Floyd's early vision performed amid kinetic sculpture and liquid light. Rather than treating Syd Barrett era Floyd as a set of canonical artefacts, Greg's incredible recollections move between the tangible (equipment, ticketing, sight-lines and the physical layout of venues) as well as the interpretative (Barrett's “painterly” logic in sound, the band's rejection of conventional stage charisma and the early tension between pop, mainstream visibility and avant-garde intent). Part 1 ends with the story still in motion, moving towards Greg's attendance of a five-man Floyd Concert in January 1968 and the next phase of the group's evolution. Part 2 arrives next month, so stay tuned!Subscribe for more, and share your own recollections or questions in the comments.

"Wish You Were Here" has always been one of Pink Floyd's iconic albums, with only a five-track listing. Despite that, it would be almost impossible to find a better progressive/psychedelic rock entry of the era.

Send us a textA city can change your ears. We sat down in Seattle and felt how tightly the scene is woven: musicians who become neighbors, venues that double as history lessons, and a band's 35‑year arc that still bends toward community. Pearl Jam isn't just posters in shop windows; it's the reason for cross‑country moves, friendships forged in parking lots, and a thousand small charities that took root because the music said do more and the people actually did.The night's centerpiece is a room built for deep listening. At Shibuya Hi‑Fi, the lights dim, the door seals, and a needle turns Wish You Were Here into a brand‑new experience. Vintage gear, precise setup, and a no‑drink, no‑noise ritual invite you to hear string scrape, breath, and space you've missed for years. We talk about turning that focus into fuel for good: album sessions as fundraisers, rare‑tape dreams, and a Six Degrees tribute that connects Stax legends across time.Wine runs through the conversation like a second soundtrack. A Syrah that honors a mentor and supports suicide prevention. A vineyard chosen on instinct days after Bowie's passing. Why Syrah is a chameleon that speaks its place louder than most grapes. Along the way we chase joy in odd places—a 14‑mile city run, a detour into cast‑iron popcorn lore, a kid's core memory meeting Jack White—and remember that the show is only three hours, but the life around it is where meaning sticks.If you're into Seattle music history, high‑fidelity listening, Pearl Jam's lasting impact, or wines that tell a story, this one's for you. Hit play, share it with a friend who loves records and late‑night venue tales, and leave a review to help more listeners find the show.www.TheTouringFanLive.commedia@TheTouringFanLive.Comwww.facebook.com/TheTouringFanLiveInstagram-@TheTouringFanLiveCopyright The Touring Fan Live 2026

In this episode of Music Biz Chat, I look at how Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here returned to Number One — 50 years after its original release — and what the sales breakdown reveals about vinyl, CD, Blu-ray, and physical music today.I also discuss recent industry comments from Proper Music's Drew Hill and question the idea of a “CD vs vinyl” battle, and explains why most music fans happily buy both formats.Plus: a run-through of major upcoming box sets and reissues, and a look at what's been spinning at Now Spinning HQ.Phil Aston | Now Spinning Magazine

Stewart O' Nan's fiction has always paid close attention to the people and relationships that shape us. In his new novel “Evensong” he brings that attention to bear on a vivid cast orbiting Emily Maxwell as she enters her 90s. This is the concluding chapter in a trilogy that began with “Wish You Were Here” and continued in “Emily Alone” and it widens the lens to explore not only Emily's interior life but the network of care surrounding her.

There's an empty seat at the table this Christmas… and nobody talks about it—but everyone feels it.In the final week of Wish You Were Here, we're not rushing grief or slapping a bow on pain. We're slowing down with Immanuel—God with us and the story of Lazarus (John 11) to see a surprising truth: before Jesus fixes anything, He joins us in it.

In this episode of Fingal's Cave, host Ian Priston talks with Steve Anderson - creator of the iconic Floydboots website, visited over a million times by collectors, and author of the 2024 book Wizardo: Stories of a Bootlegger.Steve reflects on five decades of Pink Floyd: from being a 12-year-old at Wembley Empire Pool in November 1974 and the heartbreak of his prized Stoke bootleg being broken - to the challenge of hunting down and thrill of listening to rare titles. He recalls leaving home at 3am from Knebworth 1975, the ferocity and spectacle of the Animals tour, the monumental experience of The Wall shows, and meeting the band at the premiere of The Wall film.Steve also shares two extraordinary encounters with Syd Barrett in the 1990s - fleeting but unforgettable glimpses of the band's elusive founding genius. Along the way, he discusses Barrett superfan the late Bernard White, the legacy of John Wizardo, his adventures as a record dealer, and the time he was offered Roger Waters' Live at Pompeii bass. It is a fascinating story of how a lifetime can be shaped by music, soundtracked by Pink Floyd. This episode is in stereo - because, well, it just had to be. And if you think you hear a fly buzzing, dogs wanting attention, or even church bells chiming in the distance… you are not imagining things. Consider them accidental Pink Floyd–style sound effects.Subscribe to Fingal's Cave for more journeys to the edges of Pink Floyd music history.

In this lively episode of Mark and Pete, the duo tackle three curious tales from the worlds of culture, politics, and everyday life. First up: the passing of Ronnie Rondell Jnr, the Hollywood stuntman who made others famous while remaining largely unknown. From being set alight on the cover of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here to crashing through scenes in Batman and Robin and The Mighty Ducks, his life sparks reflection on the unsung heroes who risk everything but rarely get the applause. Next, the Tesco Meal Deal — a staple of students and low-income workers alike — has crept up in price once again. That 25p rise may sound small, but it's a big bite out of already-stretched budgets. Mark and Pete chew over what this means for ordinary folk, and whether it's time to rediscover thriftier ways of feeding body and soul. Finally, we turn to the world of politics and pixels: Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and Volodymyr Zelensky appeared in a viral “Oval Office” photo looking like schoolboys in trouble — until the phantom foot gave away its AI origins. What happens when fake images shape real perceptions? Join Mark and Pete for wit, wisdom, and biblical perspective.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mark-and-pete--1245374/support.

The cover photo, taken on the Warner Brothers Studio lot in Burbank, California, was inspired by the idea that people tend to conceal their true feelings, for fear of "getting burned.” "Getting burned" was also a common phrase in the music industry when artists weren't paid royalties.TVPeacemaker season 2 just dropped a new Red Band trailer, and John Cena is coming in hot! https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/articles/peacemaker-bisexual-orgy-s2-john-160311268.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9wcmVwcGx1cy5mdXR1cmltZWRpYS5jb20v&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAANazakzLidHfptxmdBkBVLjW4fsP2XdiQ6DZuJ96FPBbVxo4PPDvE7HOlP3uTjXfWmW2gceKAhcifR0SaoGMUaHCF2VoWx9iauTbPPRy6ozLash-tYCKEayCTztdXxm--49lBzkGesCdml2s-ZQcyuunx17UlT_zz1ORI3_TcHBr Conan O'Brien believes that late-night TV is "going to disappear." https://www.aol.com/conan-o-brien-makes-bold-121503111.html MOVING ON INTO MOVIE NEWS:Weapons held on to the top spot at North American theaters over the weekend. https://variety.com/2025/film/box-office/weapons-box-office-second-weekend-hold-1236491385/ Hayden Christensen stepped out for a rare outing with his 10-year-old daughter, Briar Rose, whom he shares with his ex, Rachel Bilson, to watch the Cubs take on the Pittsburgh Pirates on Aug. 15 at Wrigley Field. https://people.com/hayden-christensen-daughter-briar-rose-sing-7th-inning-duet-chicago-cubs-game-11792461 Denzel Washington isn't worried about ever being canceled. https://www.nme.com/news/film/denzel-washington-weighs-in-on-cancel-culture-debate-you-cant-be-cancelled-if-you-havent-signed-up-3885306 RIP: Terence Stamp, the British actor best known as General Zod in Superman II, died Sunday morning at age 87, his family said. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/obituaries/terence-stamp-obituary-rcna225460AND FINALLYCould you imagine walking the high school hallways with not just one but two rock stars?

It's hard to imagine being in Pink Floyd in 1975. 1973's Dark Side of the Moon had not only achieved high praise from the critics but had sold better than most any album ever recorded. Nick Mason, Rick Wright, Roger Waters and David Gilmour had soared to extraordinary heights thanks to their balance of technological experimentation, their examination of modern capitalistic life and Waters' biting lyrics. They had plenty of money and adoring fans. The only worry was what to do next. For months they noodled around Abbey Road Studios (EMI Studio at the time) trying to find new inspiration; apparently while they drank each other under the table. Engineers and producers were sacked in an attempt to capture their greatness and harness all the capabilities of the latest available technology. Out of that came Wish You Were Here - an album that may not receive the praise (or sales) of Dark Side or The Wall but is perhaps their most listenable effort of the 1970s and a favorite among Gilmour and Wright. The very progressive and Floydian suite Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts 1-5 start the album by creating an atmosphere of awe and wonder. Waters lyrics describe their former bandmate Syd Barrett; their former leader who had lost a battle with his own schizophrenia which led to the boys not encountering him for 7 years. However, in an odd twist of fate Syd made it to EMI during the mixing of the album with a shaved head, shaved eyebrows and weighing more than double than when they'd last seen him. It all adds to the mystery and legacy of Syd and Pink Floyd. Before the 6-9 suite of Crazy Diamond, we are treated to some wonderful Pink Floyd classics. Welcome to the Machine offers mechanical noises and dismal lyrics to not only warn of but welcome the new entries into the military industrial complex. The acoustic Wish You Were Here is a sweet yet remorseful song about lost friendship and the unfortunate changes that come with growing up and growing old. Have A Cigar is a very cheeky view of the music business but as neither Waters or Gilmour could quite pull off the right tone, they employed old friend Roy Harper to provide the vocals. All three are classic rock staples and songs the band would perform together and as solo artists throughout their careers. Often overlooked compared to the other Floyd output of the 1970s, we find this has aged well, is still very listenable and is as poignant as ever 50 years later.

In this episode of the Fingal's Cave Podcast, host Nils Zehnpfennig and guests Mike McCartney, Joe Krist and special guest Bjorn Riis from Gilmourish.com celebrate 40 years of David Gilmour's live performances.We begin by exploring Bjorn's musical background and the influence of Gilmour, Pink Floyd, and other bands on his sound.

#1 New York Times bestselling author, Jodi Picoult, spoke with me about writing for Wonder Woman, adapting books for musical theater, and the question of Shakespeare's true authorship in her upcoming novel BY ANY OTHER NAME. Jodi Picoult is the bestselling author of 30 novels, including landmark titles such as Mad Honey – her most recent 1 million-copy bestseller – Wish You Were Here, A Spark of Light, and Small Great Things. 40 million copies of her books are in print worldwide and have been translated into 34 languages. Her forthcoming novel is BY ANY OTHER NAME (on sale 8/20; Ballantine), described as a novel about two women, centuries apart – one of whom is the real author of Shakespeare's plays – who are both forced to hide behind another name. #1 New York Times bestselling author Kristin Hannah said of the book, “You'll fall in love with Emilia Bassano, the unforgettable heroine based on a real woman that Picoult brings vividly to life in her brilliantly researched new novel.” Elle called it, “[An] inspiring work of feminist literature inspired by real historical accounts.” Jodi was also co-librettist for the stage musical adaptation of her young adult novel Between the Lines (which premiered Off-Broadway in Summer 2022), the co-librettist of the musical BREATHE, the co-librettist of the musical adaptation of The Book Thief, and she is currently at work on an adaptation of Austenland.

For many of us who grew up in the the 90s, Julia Stiles was an integral part of our coming of age. Her portrayal of the clever, acerbic Kat in 10 Things I Hate About You was a radical reinvention of the blonde teenage female rom-com lead. Her roles in Save The Last Dance and Mona Lisa Smile spoke to our adolescent feminist awakenings and catapulted Stiles to stardom. And, just like the heroines she played, Stiles chose to do things a bit differently. At the height of her teenage fame, she went to study English at Columbia University, continuing to act throughout her degree, most notably in the first of four Jason Bourne films. Her latest project is her directorial debut - the feature film, Wish You Were Here, which Stiles also produced and co-wrote. As a mother of three, Stiles said that her parenting informed her ability to direct.
