About this episode
Our guest for episode four of our second series is the musician Benjamin Langford-Biss. Ben is a guitarist and vocalist for the alternative rock band As It Is. He calls Elliott Smith his 'favourite ever artist' and makes it part of his mission to spread the word about Elliott's music among his fan base. In this interview, we discuss keeping Elliott's legacy alive, how Ben works in his influences and, of course, what his favourite song is. We also hear from listener Jessica in Tasmania on why Everything Means Nothing to Me means everything to her and we have an update on a couple of tribute shows taking place in the UK on 6th August.
