We interviewed the v talented Rina Mushonga live on air. We talked recording in Devon, Zimbabwean influences, 1min 15secs on fame on De Wereld Draait Door. All of this fuelled by a cup of water (her rider for the night). I think she really liked coming on to professionally ran radio show show. Pretty sure about that. Yep, indeed.

Radio interview we did with Sofie Winterson. She give us a heads up of her new album 'Wires' coming out in the summer. We talked wallowing in garbage in Paris, schmoozing the SXSW set, sacking your family as a band, how a musician makes their crust these days and hanging out with Jeugd van Tegenwoordig (not at tobacco promotion parties though)

Interview with country singer Rivers (Annika Ijdo) on We Are OK radio. We discussed the little loved banjo, shoe-horning your education in Memphis, being brainwashed by hearing music in the car as a kid, flunking a course at the Conservatorium and how to deal with a UK audience.

If you are not born and raised in the Netherlands, the concept of seeing 3 middle aged perma-tanned men singing kareoke songs in shiny outfits would seem somewhat distasteful. hell no, not here: I interviewed the crowds outside pre-show to try to ascertain what makes the Toppers such a Dutch institution and what can a Topper-novice expect. 
* warning: some of this broadcast contains traces of gold lamé and sequins

Interview with Jason Williamson from Sleaford Mods as a preview to their concert at Amsterdam Melkweg. How can such a quintessentially English band be popular on the continent? What does it take after 7 years or work for it to suddenly take off? How Nottingham treats its new heroes a bit differently than it's previous ones (hello Jake Bugg). Why no one else is writing this type of brutally frank music these days? Why does it take a 40-something bloke to do it? These and other probing questions are answered.

On May 13th 2013 the bicycle tunnel that goes right through the middle of the Rijksmuseum re-opened after being closed for about 10 years. I went down to interview people who were there (who included a representative of the organisation who had campaigned to make sure it became open for public access again).
