Xavier is wrong on a couple of things. India invited Atif, and Rahat due to embarrassment after the invention and popularity of youtube. Otherwise, Bollywood and Music industry was stealing the music of Nusrat, Atif Ali Azmat etc for years. Over 99% of Indians were not aware of this stealing but the invention of youtube exposed the truth. Please don't forget that India has placed a ban on Pak TV, Music, news, magazines since the early 1990's to block Pak soft power and to keep a monopoly over North Indian entertainment.
I remember downloading "Ankho kay sagar" on my pentium 4 using a wol internet card, and seeing my dial up giving a 4 kb/sec speed was like heaven. Lol. And it was fucking worth it. Thanks Junaid for bringing such an awesome guy and taking me back to an era which i miss a lot.

So nice to hear these 2 Karachites sharing their teenage experiences and making my day nostalgic. Love Fuzon, the band ❤️. Massive respect for Shallum 👏🏻. Great work Junaid Bhai! You are inviting upper tier guests now and making such wonderful podcasts. Wish you more success in future! 💪🏻
One of the best podcast on this platform. Kya sufi banda hai. Shallum Xavier good to hear ur clear views. I feel sad for these creative people just bcoz they are born in a different geo (which is actually the same) missed out a hell lot of opportunities. Not beating the chest abt India but yaha milti hai yaar opportunities if you are talented even ab toh Entrepreneurs bhi celebrate hone lage hai musicians, actors aur cricketers toh GOD level pe hai. most recent examples are RUclipsrs who have made a hell lot of fortunes and fame just because they have certain audiences.
I agree with u but disagree with u… they were already excellent and famous But there are thousands in India and Pakistan who struggled but we will never know them ! These were already famous who went to India to perform.
@@medqueen1808 bro I am talking about in general. There are good opportunities for people who are hard working and have little bit of sense. India main booming industry is IT. Young young under 30s making a hell lot of money. These main stream industries have changed the scenario. Coming to Art and craft things - people have hell lot of opportunities, obvi there is a tuff competition but apart from Bollywood we have many Private production houses and now Netflix, Hotstar and Amazon is Turing things rapidly. India's growth is bound to have. Our vast population is blessings in disguise (obv it has its own set of challenges) but bro believe me things has changed a lot in last 15-20 years in India.
Yep there's a lot of struggle yahan pr manjhe hue artist bhi struggle krte hen Lekin ek ye waja se logon ko ka standard bhi boht high hai. Aur yahan nepotism bhi abhi itna brha nahi hai q k nepo kids itna struggle ya itna sakht reaction ka samna nahi krskte. Kher hopefully this becomes better. Thanks for your sincere concern.
Bhai indian minority goes through same thing shallum faced in pakistan.token heroes like SRK or salman are actually a cover for the atrocities and hate minority face.
Cannot say the same about you people, so prejudiced, so much of hatred for Pakistan. You know nothing about us but still you people hate us. Unbelievable!
@@amanprasad1345 first, here in peace. 2nd bhai, minority awam hogi that hates, I got a lot of indian buddies so I know, once we meet and chat things are always really good. but no people to people contact and our desis natural affinity to hate on people really is a recipe for disaster. aur aap k wahan bhi bohot log hai with nothing better to do then hate. aao chaye piyo hamare saath....

Great initiative, I am 20 years old and I havent heard This era of music as much as i would have liked to due to lack of exposure. It is however, fascinating and inspirational to see these podcasts. Please make a series where you invite Artists and let them motivate people as only a few thousand could make the difference in bringing about a cultural Shift. Great Work.
Yaar I never thought I would spend 1:40 hours watching an interview... And I was not a Shallum fan (I've become one).... Wow.... I enjoyed every moment of it.
I really love listening stories of old downtown Karachi from the true karachiites. this whole discussion is just amazing. Thanks Junaid Akram for having him.
What an absolute genuine person Mr. Xavier is apart from being an absolute gem for Pakistani music industry. Thanks Junaid Bhai for bringing us such fascinating and enlightening content.
For how long we will keep wasting such talented musicians? He is so talented and so good speaker as well. It is the first time I ever has listened any Podcast from beginning to end, just because of his lovely story and the way he expressed his journey. Also, it is so emotional and will say “sad” to listen that how these talented people suffer and have to ask for the respect they deserve.
Till there are no good musicians are available. Pakistan is culturally decaying society where most natural arts like music, movies, stage, dance etc. are all becoming less and less visible due to radical right wing religious ideas.
guys just realize this, all of us who are commenting and reminiscing about Karachi and how awesome it used to be and how we loved progressive thinking of Shallum, WE ARE ALL A MINORITY IN OUR COUNTRY! Let that sink in! we must fight the narrative!! all is not lost still.
All these years that we’ve been a fan of his music and it’s the first time we’re actually getting to really know him! Sad to say that our traditional media has failed our artists for who they really are. But I’m glad it was you who interviewed him since most of our interviewers on traditional media don’t even know how to respect artists. Very brilliantly done!
I'm 22y, and I never knew we had this beautiful era of music with these living legends. Carry on Junaid Bhai and keep on inviting these sort of Personalities

15:43 D'Silva town is in North Nazimabad. My school, St.Judes', is still there. Used to be such a nice locality but like rest of North Nazimabad, it is in ruins now. Just like Xavier said, I don't recognize Karachi either. People in the 80s and 90s used to be so much happier. By the way Bryan Adams performed in Karachi as well but by then it was too little too late to revive the soul of the city.

I have huge respect for Shallum he used to be our music instructor back in university days I never get to know about his experiences & the old Karachi vibes since this podcast. Amazing!!!
One of my friends during my college days back in late 2000s introduced to the 'ankhon ke sagar song' and I love that song deeply. I respect the artists behind that song. I can totally relate to so many things discussed in this video. I am a 90s kid and I wish those good times lasted longer. Mobile phone killed all the good stuff.
I had the esteemed pleasure of watching Fuzion live in Dhaka at the International Folk Fest in 2018. What an amazing night, I hope when covid is over we can host you guys again in Bangladesh 🇧🇩. Peace love and blessings brother. 🙏
Loved this Shallum and Junaid. It's wonderful that Shallum was able to express himself as much as he did on this platform. I hope people are able to listen to him with an open mind.
what a show 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 i stoped in between and listen “ankhon ke sagar” and then come back and watch this long show but not single time i become board great well done Junaid and Shallum
Never watched his full podcasts but this is first time i have watched his full podcast... because the conversation was really making sense to watch and it was really worth to involve in their discussions because they opened the era of 90's, and yes discipline in conversation of both was really good. Keep up the good work junaid bhai...
This is The Best Podcast.I love this guitarist from my Teenage life.Fusion was My favorite Band I totally agree with Junaid bhai We were so Desperate about the music and songs.I also used to watch IM channel and many other music channels I was so addicted. And I also listened FM.The way they are talking about the Karachi in 90s it was very very Nostalgic.Very Realistic discussion really.Thank u sooo much Junaid bhai for inviting him on The show.Thank u for making long video with Shallum Xavier Legend.
Wow! One word to sum it up. I have never heard/listened to any podcast more than 60 minutes but how this whole episode passed, “pata hi nahi chala”. So much to relate, learn and then takeaway from a prescriptive of an individual who has done so much for the country. Thank you Junaid Akram for being such an awesome person Shallum to you podcast. Time well spent!
Whoa, What a great podcast, shared the history, knowledge, importance of music and experiences in their life...What a great man Shallum Xavier, beautiful conversation...Great
I’m really happy to hear about my home D’Silva Town being mentioned in this video. This video is an amazing journey into an era long gone. Great stuff !
Excellent episode, the entire conversation felt very grounded and very "Karachi"! Being a Karachiite and a huge Pakistan Music fan since the time of programs like Music Channel Charts and VJ, it pains me to be a witness of the downfall of Pakistani music industry in the last decade or so. However, I am hopeful for its revival, as the Pakistani Music still lives on strong!
I have been following you and watching your podcasts for a long time, indeed this is one of my favorite podcasts. Loved it, Shallum Xavier is great, very impressed with the conversation, a true Pakistani with culture and values
They have maintained the class of podcast meanwhile addressing the concerns of their country..!! This is outclass very pleasing to hear but heartache to admit the truth of the society... Love from India 🇮🇳
Thank you for inviting him to your show, Junaid! I just wanted to keep listening about old Karachi. Brought back old memories as i have been living abroad for over a decade. Keep up the good work :)
It was an experience watching this podcast. What amazing person Shallum is, very clear in his thought, raised some really concerning points, specially the lack of public interest in arts and cultural activities. And how things have significantly changed post 90s era. The narrative of the entire country has changed. Nothing that provides happiness and joy is cherished in out country anymore due to extremist thoughts. And yes !! Shallum said it right, that it is all intensional. Only a happy joyful mind can stay positive and can bring positivity in the society, instead our youth has been bombarded with extremist thoughts, they have been turned into robots with no life in them, all they care about is criticism and pointing fingers at each others. There was a time when gathering used to have good conversations but now it’s all about either politics or religious arguments only. Which is very sad.
Yaaaaarrr it was to fun and enjoyable to watch you guys talking on different parameters. I would really love to see Shallum back in the house with some other guests sharing the same industry or atleast ARTS. Hats off guys, really happy to watch you guys discussing about Karachi and all the other stuff. *claps*
Such a great podcast, have been privileged enough to get sir shallum as my performing techniques mentor 3 years back. I request everyone in this time to recognise our heros before they’re not here to get the appreciation. Thank you sir junaid for this podcast. Amazing!
I think this was one of your best podcasts. Looking forward many more such episodes. Never been to Pak but I could almost live the olden golden days of Karachi that Shallom described so beautifully (just as your mamaji did in an old episode).
Commenting before even watching this podcast. Shallum is one of my fav musicians. I love him being a musician. It's very thoughtful of Junaid to invite musicians to his podcasts. I'm gonna love it
Prolly the first podcast which I watched from start till the end, followed by a revisit to Akhiyan by Fuzon. Music was so fresh in those years. You guys should have appreciated Pepsi though, they came in late but recently have promoted band culture again. I would ask everyone to hear the pepsi battle of the bands original music, you guys will enjoy it. Also give them views so they know they gotta continue doing it.
Oh mannnn.... The Era of Indus music.... The Karachi vibe, the happening scenesss... Too nostalgic!! Thank you Junaid bhai for this!! Loved every minute of it!
After a long time, I have enjoyed listening to a podcast. So calm, soothing, and full of amazing thoughts. Shallum is a great guy. Would love to meet him someday 😊
Hi Shoaib, I've lived through this time in Karachi and it was great. Really enjoyed the music scene back then and loved going to concerts. On a side note, hearing how good and progressive we were as a nation back in the 60s and 70s, the early 2000s are no comparison then ;)
@@khibulls true.. the situation is worsening and Shallum bhai was right we cant recognize this city anymore. I don't think so that there is any hope for the situation reversing or turning better in any way
What an interview. What a guest. What an intellectual discussion. Being a Lahori who spent his every summer vacations of childhood in Karachi, I could literally relate to the entire discussion.
This was such a treat to listen to. The way Shallum related culture, history and religion to music was fascinating. When I first moved to Perth, I met a guy of Portuguese background who grew up in Australia. Through conversation, he said I was born in Karachi and I could not believe that as there's hardly any knowledge/info disseminated to general public on the various ethnicities who call Karachi/other parts of Pakistan home since pre-partition. The reference of De Silva colony gave me epiphany into the conversation about a decade before. The mere conversation compelled me to research about various ethnicities and their descendants who still call Karachi their home. Sadly, the numbers are dwindling and the society is getting more 'ghuttan-zada' day by day...
After watching the entire episode, I could relate to so many things that Shallum said as a musician especially being a handsome and supermodel in this country. Enjoyed every minute of it. It was so very lovely. Keep it coming please.
Thank you for bringing Bruh Shallum. Its an absolute pleasure to hear him. We had legends at PECHS Block 2 like Sir SB John , Shallum, Hasan Shaheed Mirza and Amir Salem. Long live bro Shallum
Khalid Khan, bassist from Aaroh (also from PECHS Block2). Growing up, I remember seeing Sajjad Ali, Shehki, Fakhre Alam, Nadeem Jafri etc regularly congregate at Tooso and King Burger.
Best podcast ever.....watched the whole episode with same concentration and didn't got bored for even 1 second ✨ Shalllum sir is a pure man ❤️Really enjoyed..God bless🙏
Shallum!! Bhai he is extremely talented person. Pioneer. ❤️ He is one of the guys who contributed to our music industry at much highest level. Ye wo log hain jinho ny music bnaya hai literally Pakistan k liyeh. thory purany log obviously inko janty hongy. Thank you so much for this content Junaid.
Shallum Xavier was the teacher of our music class, he is the gem when it comes to instruments especially his acoustic guitar techniques which helped a lot of students. Because of his motivation speech and confidence, I stood in front of audience in the class and performed my first song! Love him ❤️❤️💯 P.s. (song video is in my channel)
WoW! So good to see Shallum after a long time. Just realized besides amazing guitar player, Shallum has such inspiring thoughts. God bless you brother.
What a LEGEND. Meray bhaion aur behnon... Humara apna mulq hai aur bas isko hum khud hi theek karengai.... Junaid aur Shallum bhai, aap apni efforts jaari rakhein inshAllah we will go back to the same Karachi vibes.
This Shallum Xavier used to live in PECHS block 2 near to my previous home... I don't know if he still lives there or not... His brother Simien Xavier was my schoolmate and his sister Natasha Xavier was our class teacher... Still remember those days
Such a nice conversation 👌 between two well known guys I agreed with your opinions 👍🏻 I came from punjab and here for a week I feel really excited and tehzeeb too but I really want to see karachi as a well managed may Allah bless there shower
Really enjoyed listening to Shallum, what a thoughtful guy! May Allah bless him more success. Junaid, that will be great if you can invite Faraz Anwer. I am sure Faraz has alot to contribute and share. Do invite him please!
you may not have a million followers but this video deserves to be viewed by millions of Pakistanis, so that we may understand, that where we were, and where we have come ....loved ittt

I’m enjoying this conversation so much. Being a 90’s kid in karachi this is so relatable. 👍🏼
I'm from India sorry I don't know this guy but I enjoyed his conversation lot so call him again if you can 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Same Here
Loved this Shallum and Junaid. It's wonderful that Shallum was able to express himself as much as he did on this platform. I hope people are able to listen to him with an open mind.
what a show 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 i stoped in between and listen “ankhon ke sagar” and then come back and watch this long show but not single time i become board great
well done Junaid and Shallum
Yeah! I did the same
Never watched his full podcasts but this is first time i have watched his full podcast... because the conversation was really making sense to watch and it was really worth to involve in their discussions because they opened the era of 90's, and yes discipline in conversation of both was really good. Keep up the good work junaid bhai...
This is The Best Podcast.I love this guitarist from my Teenage life.Fusion was My favorite Band
I totally agree with Junaid bhai We were so Desperate about the music and songs.I also used to watch IM channel and many other music channels I was so addicted. And I also listened FM.The way they are talking about the Karachi in 90s it was very very Nostalgic.Very Realistic discussion really.Thank u sooo much Junaid bhai for inviting him on The show.Thank u for making long video with Shallum Xavier Legend.
Wow! One word to sum it up. I have never heard/listened to any podcast more than 60 minutes but how this whole episode passed, “pata hi nahi chala”. So much to relate, learn and then takeaway from a prescriptive of an individual who has done so much for the country. Thank you Junaid Akram for being such an awesome person Shallum to you podcast. Time well spent!
Whoa, What a great podcast, shared the history, knowledge, importance of music and experiences in their life...What a great man Shallum Xavier, beautiful conversation...Great
I’m really happy to hear about my home D’Silva Town being mentioned in this video. This video is an amazing journey into an era long gone. Great stuff !
Excellent episode, the entire conversation felt very grounded and very "Karachi"!
Being a Karachiite and a huge Pakistan Music fan since the time of programs like Music Channel Charts and VJ, it pains me to be a witness of the downfall of Pakistani music industry in the last decade or so. However, I am hopeful for its revival, as the Pakistani Music still lives on strong!
Junaid you are bold enough to touch Taboo subject. God bless you. This guest reminds me of my happy days of Karachi.
I have been following you and watching your podcasts for a long time, indeed this is one of my favorite podcasts. Loved it, Shallum Xavier is great, very impressed with the conversation, a true Pakistani with culture and values
They have maintained the class of podcast meanwhile addressing the concerns of their country..!! This is outclass very pleasing to hear but heartache to admit the truth of the society... Love from India 🇮🇳
Thank you for inviting him to your show, Junaid!
I just wanted to keep listening about old Karachi. Brought back old memories as i have been living abroad for over a decade. Keep up the good work :)
It was an experience watching this podcast. What amazing person Shallum is, very clear in his thought, raised some really concerning points, specially the lack of public interest in arts and cultural activities. And how things have significantly changed post 90s era. The narrative of the entire country has changed. Nothing that provides happiness and joy is cherished in out country anymore due to extremist thoughts. And yes !! Shallum said it right, that it is all intensional. Only a happy joyful mind can stay positive and can bring positivity in the society, instead our youth has been bombarded with extremist thoughts, they have been turned into robots with no life in them, all they care about is criticism and pointing fingers at each others. There was a time when gathering used to have good conversations but now it’s all about either politics or religious arguments only. Which is very sad.
Getting goosebumps listening to this. Taking us down memory lane, amazing podcast ❤️
I feel so happy to see Shahllum Xavier's view on society and music industry in general. His intellectualism is on display through out this video.
Yaaaaarrr it was to fun and enjoyable to watch you guys talking on different parameters.
I would really love to see Shallum back in the house with some other guests sharing the same industry or atleast ARTS.
Hats off guys, really happy to watch you guys discussing about Karachi and all the other stuff.
*claps*
Such a great podcast, have been privileged enough to get sir shallum as my performing techniques mentor 3 years back. I request everyone in this time to recognise our heros before they’re not here to get the appreciation. Thank you sir junaid for this podcast. Amazing!
I think this was one of your best podcasts. Looking forward many more such episodes. Never been to Pak but I could almost live the olden golden days of Karachi that Shallom described so beautifully (just as your mamaji did in an old episode).
Same here 👍. I am from India and can understand how lucky I am to be born in a free country.
Lol bro infact i raised here but the way he explained and defined, i mean really dude !
Commenting before even watching this podcast. Shallum is one of my fav musicians. I love him being a musician. It's very thoughtful of Junaid to invite musicians to his podcasts. I'm gonna love it
Pure Nostalgia. That era you guys talked about is why lots of people from the middle East moved back to Karachi.
Such a great musician and a great man. This guy deserves way more recognition.
Prolly the first podcast which I watched from start till the end, followed by a revisit to Akhiyan by Fuzon.
Music was so fresh in those years.
You guys should have appreciated Pepsi though, they came in late but recently have promoted band culture again.
I would ask everyone to hear the pepsi battle of the bands original music, you guys will enjoy it. Also give them views so they know they gotta continue doing it.
What a great conversation, didn't skip a second, such a lovely person shallum is
Junaid, you are a true Karachite. Love and prayers for you.
Oh mannnn.... The Era of Indus music.... The Karachi vibe, the happening scenesss... Too nostalgic!! Thank you Junaid bhai for this!! Loved every minute of it!
Have been following Shallam Xaviar since he started. What a talented artist. First time seeing a one on one interview with him.
I am from Karachi from Bahadurabad area. This conversation brings me back to old times. Great conversation!
He's a brilliant guitarist
After a long time, I have enjoyed listening to a podcast. So calm, soothing, and full of amazing thoughts. Shallum is a great guy.
Would love to meet him someday 😊
mind blown.... hooked... I wish i could have lived and witnessed Karachi in such a golden time
Hi Shoaib, I've lived through this time in Karachi and it was great. Really enjoyed the music scene back then and loved going to concerts.
On a side note, hearing how good and progressive we were as a nation back in the 60s and 70s, the early 2000s are no comparison then ;)
@@khibulls true.. the situation is worsening and Shallum bhai was right we cant recognize this city anymore. I don't think so that there is any hope for the situation reversing or turning better in any way
Wonderful experience,
Thanks Junaid & Shallum. God bless
Amazing! Such an intelligent conservation! There are really less podcasts that I can listen for over 2 hours!
Great Junaid bhai. I never realised other religions were so free in Pakistan. Changed my views about your country
Yes!! “WERE”
"Artificially cutting of india and Pakistan culture " loved the line
What an interview. What a guest. What an intellectual discussion. Being a Lahori who spent his every summer vacations of childhood in Karachi, I could literally relate to the entire discussion.
Excellent conversation. Btw, his looks are so similar to Nehru's right hand VK Krishna Menon, the great indian diplomat
OMG. Yes. 😂😂
This was such a treat to listen to. The way Shallum related culture, history and religion to music was fascinating. When I first moved to Perth, I met a guy of Portuguese background who grew up in Australia. Through conversation, he said I was born in Karachi and I could not believe that as there's hardly any knowledge/info disseminated to general public on the various ethnicities who call Karachi/other parts of Pakistan home since pre-partition. The reference of De Silva colony gave me epiphany into the conversation about a decade before. The mere conversation compelled me to research about various ethnicities and their descendants who still call Karachi their home. Sadly, the numbers are dwindling and the society is getting more 'ghuttan-zada' day by day...
Lots of respect for artists like Shallum and Faraz Anwar..
After watching the entire episode, I could relate to so many things that Shallum said as a musician especially being a handsome and supermodel in this country. Enjoyed every minute of it. It was so very lovely. Keep it coming please.
Best episode junaid bhai... Lov from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Thank you for bringing Bruh Shallum. Its an absolute pleasure to hear him. We had legends at PECHS Block 2 like
Sir SB John , Shallum, Hasan Shaheed Mirza and Amir Salem.
Long live bro Shallum
Khalid Khan, bassist from Aaroh (also from PECHS Block2).
Growing up, I remember seeing Sajjad Ali, Shehki, Fakhre Alam, Nadeem Jafri etc regularly congregate at Tooso and King Burger.
One of the best podcast 💚💚💚
Best podcast ever.....watched the whole episode with same concentration and didn't got bored for even 1 second ✨ Shalllum sir is a pure man ❤️Really enjoyed..God bless🙏
Literally one of my fav podcast❤️❤️
Great podcast! Im 26 and i still listen to the bands they mentioned. Love our music forever and i hope that great era comes back!
Support and vote him for PISA award.

Spend almost 18 years in pechs block 2. That MTV store i still remember. One of the best area of KHI.
Beatles music shop too. What memories!
Shallum Xavier was the teacher of our music class, he is the gem when it comes to instruments especially his acoustic guitar techniques which helped a lot of students. Because of his motivation speech and confidence, I stood in front of audience in the class and performed my first song! Love him ❤️❤️💯
P.s.
(song video is in my channel)
What a podcast, grew up listening the songs discussed
WoW! So good to see Shallum after a long time. Just realized besides amazing guitar player, Shallum has such inspiring thoughts. God bless you brother.
HEAVY METAL FOR LIFE MAN
Wait.........are you Pakistani?????
@@saadnaser8067 why is that relevant? I am from 🇮🇳.
@@saadnaser8067 so is shidbot420
What a LEGEND. Meray bhaion aur behnon... Humara apna mulq hai aur bas isko hum khud hi theek karengai.... Junaid aur Shallum bhai, aap apni efforts jaari rakhein inshAllah we will go back to the same Karachi vibes.
Fact of the time, we could feel the pain of this generation of Pakistan... May God help you!
This Shallum Xavier used to live in PECHS block 2 near to my previous home... I don't know if he still lives there or not... His brother Simien Xavier was my schoolmate and his sister Natasha Xavier was our class teacher... Still remember those days
Quality aur quantity dono check karein Junaid bhai ki 👌👌👌
Respect for Shallum and Junaid for having Him in podcast....Watched whole time also enjoyed podcast with Louis J. Pinto
Such a nice conversation 👌 between two well known guys I agreed with your opinions 👍🏻 I came from punjab and here for a week I feel really excited and tehzeeb too but I really want to see karachi as a well managed may Allah bless there shower
Really enjoyed listening to Shallum, what a thoughtful guy! May Allah bless him more success. Junaid, that will be great if you can invite Faraz Anwer. I am sure Faraz has alot to contribute and share.
Do invite him please!
He looks an pure artist.
you may not have a million followers but this video deserves to be viewed by millions of Pakistanis, so that we may understand, that where we were, and where we have come ....loved ittt
Fariq aawam hai apny, intellectually paralysed.
36:00 you should bring faris shafi on your podcast.
That would be 🔥
Wonderful suggestion 👏
One of the best podcasts I have ever watched. What a sensible and educated person they both are!
