And here's another one!

In this episode of Time For Heroes, I sit down with Dan Jennings—a journalist, broadcaster, and now published author—whose career has danced across the airwaves and into the pages of music history.

We explore:

• Dan’s journey from BBC radio studios to podcasting success with Desperately Seeking Paul, the acclaimed Paul Weller fan podcast

• Behind-the-scenes tales from 180+ interviews, culminating in a two-hour conversation with Weller himself

• The making of Dancing Through the Fire, Dan’s authorised oral history of Paul Weller, built from over 200 hours of interviews

• Reflections on storytelling, fandom, and the cultural impact of one of Britain’s most iconic musicians

Dan brings wit, warmth, and a deep love for music and narrative. Whether you’re a Weller devotee, a podcast junkie, or just curious about how passion becomes publication—this episode hits all the right notes.

And as per, Dan picked his heroes too, wonder who it could be???
