About this listen

 "

Dermot O'Leary interviews a range of people he greatly admires from the worlds of sport, fashion, politics and entertainment.

Dermot says: "People, Just People is born out of curiosity to find out more about the lives of individuals that I've watched from afar‚ but not had the chance to get to know. How they got to where they did, the highs and lows that shaped that journey, and what have they learned along the way?"

Some good guests especially Jean Nissan and Pat Davies, the interceptors from Bletchley Park. More like this please.

However, at times Dermot comes across as a bit sycophantic and obsequious. You can imagine him grinning broadly and squirming with pleasure in his chair as he makes agreeable noises.

Relaxed, easy listening. Dermot, seems to make everyone feel at ease and done with good humour.

Honesty.

This is a great audio-book full of interviews with interesting people and stories. If, like myself, you love learning something new, this is a great book to hear. I've learned lots of random yet interesting facts about newspaper morals and world war code breakers. Yes, the bits and pieces you pick up are quite random but still make for a great read, or listen. The only minor downside to this audio-book is that Dermot (interviewer) sometimes cuts off the speaker or changes the subject matter too soon. Overall, this is a great audio-book that I enjoyed a lot.

INTERESTING FROM START TO FINISH

Dermot O'Leary has the ability to put his guests at ease from the start.

I've loved his interview style from his Radio 2 show for a long time, this series is just as good only longer.

It kind of feels like you're listening in to two friends having a good chat over a cup of tea.

Best UK Interviewer, at his best
