Percussionist Jody Linscott talks about how she inadvertently became a musician, being fired from Dingwalls and joining a band, the inspiration from her parents’ and brother’s record collections, not initially being a fan of The Who, being told, “Pete Townshend is looking for you”, playing with Pete’s Deep End band in the mid-80s, touring with The Who in 1989, the joyful chaos of being part of The Who’s acoustic line-up in 2020, and how Roger Daltrey is singing better than ever.
Plus: host Paul Bearman explains how he became a Who fan at the age of two, and how a major health scare in 2020 led to him wanting to make a podcast about them.
