About

This is all you need to know about Word In Your Ear. It began in 2006, which means it’s almost as old as podcasting itself. Its voices Mark Ellen and David Hepworth have been writing, broadcasting or podcasting about music since 1975. It has a large and devoted following, many of whom have a relationship with them dating back to Smash Hits, Mojo, Q, The Word, Radio One, VH1 and the Old Grey Whistle Test. There is no more trusted podcast in the music and entertainment space. If you don’t believe us ask friends like Elvis Costello, Stewart Lee, John Lydon, John Cooper Clarke, Midge Ure, Rickie Lee Jones, Charlie Higson, Richard Thompson, Gary Kemp, Craig Brown, Phil Manzanera, Jacqui Abbott, Toyah Willcox, Graham Gouldman, Guy Garvey, Sharleen Spiteri, Sylvie Simmons, Trevor Horn, Kate Rusby, Ron Sexsmith, Lloyd Cole, John Otway, Nick Heyward, Andy Partridge, Chris Difford, Bob Geldof and Billy Bragg, all of whom have guested on the show.
