Customer Reviews
Neenee
Brilliant! Funny and informative. It's got stuff in about the Liverpool scene at the moment, international visiting artists and new music. Nick Holloway is a great presenter too - very relaxed and easy to listen to.
Delightful
The wry, laconic, dryly witty delivery is a delight. Allow the narrator to gently guide you through the myriad happenings, events and shows of the Liverpool Biennial and you will be equipped with all you need to enjoy the festival to the full and to bluff your way through the next opening you attend. That this man does not yet have his own radio show is evidence that the world does not function quite as it should. This is essential material for all who attend the Biennial.
Enjoyable, accessible
For anyone baffled by the Biennial, or just in need of a refresher course, Nick Holloway's podcast is simple and easy to listen to; with a good dose of wit and humour, something often missing from arty podcasts
