Diaries Episode 16😂.

I thoroughly enjoyed episode 16 it was simply fantastic! I laughed so much at the funeral story and the $20 dollar bill not to mention your American accent, Gyles!😂. Harriet’s was very good and I’m looking forward to hearing more about her Indian trip. I’m English and live in San Francisco and can confirm Americans still believe they won WWII and they love English accents. I look forward to more Rosebud. Thank you. Yvonne in SF.

A Taste of Home

Love, love, love this show. I spend most of the year away from Old Blighty, so these conversations help keep the homesickness at bay!

My Favorite Podcast

Gyles Brandreth and Harriet Jaine do an outstanding job presenting my favorite podcast, Rosebud, which is a happy, calming, and entertaining hour that delves into guests’ first memories and life’s lessons learned. I especially like “More Rosebud”, which features Gyles’ diaries. The storytelling is engaging and very interesting from a historical perspective as it is sourced from the viewpoint of a teenage Gyles! I always look forward to the next episode.

Grateful to you for creating a kind, inspirational podcast

There is so much to comment on positively regarding both Gyles and Harriet. ❤️❤️ Just a bit— I’m an American working as a psychologist in Japan with military families. It’s been dreadful following the machinations of the current US government. Your podcast takes me away from the worry and fear. I turned both my 30 year old sons onto the podcast and it is helpful for them too in this difficult time. Thank you for being so sincere and positive! Much love to you!!

Enjoyed the interview

Very nice interview with Sir Michael Palin. The conversation seemed easy & free. Learned many things that I didn't know about him. Thanks! & @KatharineRyan: not all North Americans have therapy! Pls don't make blanket statements.

Marvelous

In the world of podcasts, Gyles Brandreth uses his own style to interview his friends, a humorous reflection on the lives of his interviews, a breath of fresh air, a career of with diversions of politics and a healthy contribution to the world of satire over the years.
