Sharing YOUR backstory

How was that for you?

'Chris approaches the interview in a unique and individual way so it's been great. Normally I sit down, people ask me questions and I reel off the answers, but Chris made me think.'

– Madeleine Black
Glasgow-based author and public speaker

'It tickled my brain. And now for some cake and a lie-down!'

– Roger McGough CBE
Poet and playwright

It was fantastic. Your way of curating your Show is wonderful. There is a plethora of podcasts and I've definitely not done or experienced one like this. The structure and the way you guide it is lovely. The 'Clearing' is a wonderful place to come to. Thank you!

– Garry Pratt
Author, Founder & Mountain Leader

'I did lots of US promos, radio and TV, also Sky News. Without doubt, the best interview I've had.'

– Malcolm Stern
Psychologist and author of three books

'It was quite nice having a route map. Chris's questions made me jump a little outside my normal responses.'

– Ben Dunwell
Novelist & operatic librettist

What I love about your show in this dark depressing world at the moment, is that you have created a beautiful oasis of kindness and positivity. I think you've got spun Gold here. Congratulations to you and your team, it's a beautiful, beautiful life-affirming 45-50 minutes. Thank you!

– Brendan O'Hea
Actor, Director & Author of "Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays The Rent", co-written with Dame Judi Dench

'A brilliant podcast interview structure. Chris is warm and generous and made it effortlessly easy for me to tell the story behind my new book.'

– Colin Hunter
Leadership In Business author

I wan't very good at this when I first left the BBC Breakfast sofa because I like asking the questions! So it feels scary but that was really enjoyable! I revealed stuff about myself that I've not said before, so well done you! I agree with Michael Rosen, this is a great way for Authors to talk about their books.

– Louise Minchin
Broadcaster, Author & Endurance Athlete

'I wondered about it beforehand and I have had plenty of room. I think it worked really well.'

– Mac Macartney
International speaker, writer & change-maker

Very enjoyable. Love the format! It's a very good one I think for Authors with plenty of opportunity & flexibility but with a really interesting structure. Very interesting to do, I liked it a lot!

– Cathy Rentzenbrink
Acclaimed Author & Memoirist
