Phil Collins: New Podcast and Interview with Zoe Ball (BBC)

Revealed today – as part of a 5 part podcast, a new interview with Phil Collins (conducted by Zoe Ball for the BBC) will be available soon.

The official Phil Collins social media channels hinted there might be some news today. And in fact it was confirmed that a new interview with Phil Collins will be available soon.

A new podcast about and with Phil Collins starts today (BBC Eras section). Episodes 1-4 are now available on podcast services worldwide and in the UK via BBC Sounds. Part 5 will be a brand new interview with Phil, conducted by Zoe Ball, and this will be released on 26 January (1 February on BBC Radio 2). Check this site for the first four parts.

Zoe Ball says:

"Phil Collins' music is woven into all our lives, those songs are time machines, full of heart, drama and joy. I've been a lifelong fan ever since discovering Genesis as a young teenager, and their Wembley gig in '87 is still one of the best nights of my life. I've been lucky enough to chat with Phil a few times over the years, but to dive into his extraordinary story for  Eras and sit down with him again for such a special, intimate conversation about music, family and everything in between is an absolute dream. I can't wait for everyone to hear it."

BBC Radio 2 write on Instagram:

It was the era of big money and bigger hair. Most popstars were flamboyant, glamorous and focused on image. One artist stood separate… and outsold them all.
From stage school Artful Dodger, to being one of the 80s biggest stars, and beyond. Zoe Ball tells the story of one of pop music's most enduring and least likely icons – and finest musicians; Phil Collins.
Featuring new, exclusive interviews with Peter Gabriel, Sir Bob Geldof, Michael Mann, Robert Plant, Craig David, Izzy Lamberti, and many more, plus troves of rare interviews from the BBC Archive.
BBC Eras: Phil Collins, a new 5-part podcast hosted by Zoe Ball, launches today with Episodes 1-4 available on podcast platforms worldwide and in the UK on BBC Sounds.
