The State Library of NSW offers a wide range of podcasts. I chose one titled You Cant Always Get What You Want - an interview with Sam Cutler, interviewed by author Jeff Apter.
I spent an enjoyable hour listening to legendary tour manager, Sam Cutler. The very entertaining Cutler has worked with bands such as the Rolling Stones and the Grateful Dead, and is a natural raconteur. He recounts tales from the road (namely, touring America with the Stones) and shares fabulous tidbits of personal information about some infamous names in music. Who knew that Keith Richards is a bibliophile, with a stately library in his home containing over 30,000 books?
The podcast can be found here:

Was the stately library the source of Keith Richards' inspiration I wonder? Maybe not entirely... I do know that one of his other roles was as Captain Teague, the father of Capt. Jack Sparrow in 'Pirates of the Caribbean: at World's End.'
