When Simon Met

Simon Wilsonwhensimonmet.com
Award winning presenter and producer Simon Wilson catches up with your favourite musicians, comedians and artists, filled with games stupidity and prizes! Frank Turner - I have done A LOT of interviews over the years. As tours roll by, certain faces become familiar, and it's possible to build something of a rapport with someone over time. Every time I'm in the south of the UK, for a good few albums now, I get interviewed by Simon Wilson (for Voice FM). It's always a total blast, funny, engaging, surprising, insightful, silly.
