- The acclaimed Paul Weller Fan Podcast is back with a bang!
In 2020, my love of Paul Weller’s music led me to create the ‘Desperately Seeking Paul’ podcast series, an adventure that culminated in an unforgettable encounter with the man himself at the end of last year.
The thrill of finally interviewing my hero, after 25 years in radio and a three-year podcast journey, is still fresh. The experience was nothing short of magical, and I am incredibly grateful for every moment of it. But as they say, the show must go on, and I am beyond excited to announce what’s coming next.
Last November, I was given the extraordinary honour of receiving an advance copy of Paul’s highly anticipated new album, “66”. And let me tell you, it’s another absolute corker. I’ve spent countless hours immersing myself in the rich tapestry of sounds and stories that make up this incredible LP.
Now, I’m thrilled to share that our journey together continues with a brand new podcast series. This time, we’re diving deep into “66”, exploring each track, the creative process behind the album, and the magic that makes Paul Weller such a remarkable artist.
Our first episode kicks off with an exclusive interview with Paul Weller himself.
Imagine, sitting down in his Black Barn studio, to discuss his latest work, track by track. It’s an opportunity I could only dream of when I started this podcast series, and now it’s a reality.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. A week after the album is released - you’ll hear a special boxset of podcast episodes with key figures involved in the making of “66” who will offer their own unique insights, adding depth and colour to our exploration of Paul’s 17th solo studio album (and his 28th in total).
You’ll hear from band members, Jacko Peake, Tom Van Heel, Jake Fletcher and Ben Gordelier, producer/engineer Charles Rees, collaborators including Tom Doyle (White Label), Christophe Vaillant (Le SuperHomard), and Steve Brookes (original member of The Jam).
Contributors such as Josh McClorey, Steve Trigg, Sumudu Jayatilaka, Louise Marshall, Britten Sinfonia and Hannah Peel will also offer their unique perspectives on the making of the album.
It’s hard to put into words just how humbled and thrilled I am to be a part of the countdown for the release of “66”.
Another great and comprehensive interview many thanks ❤
I enjoyed this, and the Noel G one. NIce
It’s good to have you back for more excellent content Dan. I can’t wait to hear from everyone involved with the new album in your forthcoming interviews. ❤😊
Thankyou Paul your music has taken me on lifes journey ...Legend indeed ❤
Loved all of Series 2, the podcasts have been brilliant, really great mix of stories and technical stuff - really appreciate the insight!
A few weeks after release now, I have to say that I’m not into the new record as a whole (Burn Out and Soul Wandering are my favourites). Maybe it will find me in a different time and place in the future, I hope so.
Looking forward to Newcastle in October though and whatever comes next :)
Excellent interview you can tell Paul really likes who he’s talking to top notch 👌👌👍👍

I’m going to start a podcast called Desperately Seeking Dan and the first person I’m going to interview is Paul Weller…
Flying Fish . F being the 6 letter of the alphabet.
Paul’s chat was butchered with constant New Labour propaganda. Couldn’t you and your podcast spare us listeners from that kind of monetisation?
UA-cam isn’t a free platform mate. I guess they have to make revenue somehow to pay for all of the storage space to host free content such as this.
