Great to see the chaps behind the podcast! I'm still catching up (just done Venus), but I love the journalistic qualities you bring to this history. Top work, guys - I'm hugely enjoying you going through all these songs from our childhoods.
@@clout123 thank you!
Omg yous guys are like the only place ive found that goes really in depth about S/A/W's best project 'this time i know its for real'. I believe this is there best project top to bottom i love the whole another place and time album.
@@kerronwalker1589 thank you. It is a good album.
Even in Singapore, the SAW music played an important role in my taste in music growing up.
Good to hear.
Someone should write a musical about Kylie and Dannii. That would be awesome
Great chat! My favorite podcast.
Thank you!
I really enjoy the podcast and it was nice to see the faces of two persons who's voices have become a daily company for me when I listen through the series. Cheers from Sweden!
Thank you!
Oh, well, I'm a 'theatre snob' so it'll be a total swerve for me!!! Thanks for the review (it sounds utterly awful!!)
I think we had the same experience when we saw it on the very first night - really enjoyed it :) So glad you enjoyed it and really great to see you boys chat on video! Look forward to the bonus material and hearing you come back in February. Sending you both big hugs from the North of England! :)))))
Thanks Simon, hugs always appreciated.
Wonderful podcast, great interviews, S.A.W. and Smash Hits helped me to learn english from Italy. I put this video on my blog. Thank you very much for your interesting podcast about S.A.W. "The sound of a generation". Best regards from Italy. stock-aitken-waterman.blogspot.com/2024/02/a-journey-through-stock-aitken-waterman.html

Saw ISBSL yesterday at Wimbledon. I don’t like ABBA so assumed this would be “Mamma Mia but with songs that I like” and it was exactly that. You just need to love the songs and have a sense of humour.
Agreed! Glad you enjoyed.
Love this!
Thank you!
