A full list of Phill Jupitus's achievements would last longer than an episode of Phill & Phil's The Perfect Ten, the brilliant podcast he presents with Phil Wilding. Born in Newport on the Isle of Wight, Phill began his performing career as Porky The Poet and supported musicians like Billy Bragg, The Style Council and The Housemartins. He turned his hand to directing pop videos and the musical connection has continued with his role as a team captain on the BBC's Never Mind The Buzzcocks since 1996. As well as sell-out stand-up comedy tours, he's trodden the West End boards as an actor, written a daring theatrical mashup of Lewis Carroll and Samuel Beckett for the Edinburgh Fringe, been Quite Interesting alongside Stephen Fry and Alan Davies, hosted a much-missed BBC 6 Music breakfast show, voiced a cartoon mouse (no, not that one, although his 2001 radio documentary Disneyfied marked the anniversary of uncle Walt's birth), played with The Bonzo Dog  Doo-Dah Band and The Blockheads, appeared on countless TV shows and even checked in for treatment at Holby City. But he's still found time to make regular visits to Brighton and is a big fan of the city. Earlier this summer, the Duke Of York's cinema had the honour of hosting The Perfect Ten's first-ever performance in front of a live audience.

Phill, what's the best Brighton venue?

'Concorde 2 on the seafront. I don't pick this for its excellent facilities - even though they are lovely - but for its stunning location. I've often chatted with South Coast chums about gigs or club nights in the summer where they open the doors and let the whole evening spill out onto the beach. But there are truckloads of gigs in Brighton I'm very fond of. I've always wanted to play the Komedia, but it somehow passed me by.'

What's your favourite building?

'The Duke Of York's Picturehouse. I've been massively impressed by the grandiose frontage of the DOY for nearly 30 years. To me, it's the sign that I've arrived in town. I can't quite believe that the first time I went in the building was the first time I played there. Quite simply, it's one of the world's greatest little cinemas.'

Where's the best place to eat?

'It's an Indian restaurant in The Lanes that I've forgotten the name of. What a twit. The Chilli Pickle! I remembered! Stunning food.'

What's your favourite view?

'I like to get a posh room at The Grand once in a while and I love to watch the sun go down over the West Pier. Clichéd, but beautiful nonetheless.'

Brighton Rock's Pinkie Brown or Porky The Poet?

'Do you really need to ask that question?'

Is there any one thing you'd like to change about Brighton?

'More affordable housing for local people and some kind of quota on the weekend wendys. I couldn't live there myself, but I'd like it to be easier for people who want to make a home there.'

Where's the best place to shop?

'North Laine. I love it on a sunny morning, waiting for everyone to bother opening their shops and restaurants. Good luck getting anything done before noon!'

Who's your favourite historical/contemporary Brightonian?

'It's a tie between Nick Cave and Max Miller. They're very similar men...'

What's an ideal day/night out in the city?

'Check into your room, walk along the seafront, double back for a few drinks in The Great Eastern and go to watch Count Arthur Strong at the Komedia. Then, quite pissed, go somewhere with your Brighton mate that you'll never remember the name of but you'll have the time of your life.'

What's Brighton's hidden gem?

'The bar at Hotel Du Vin on a quiet night.'

As well The Perfect Ten, you've hosted The Times football podcast The Game. Which podcasts do you subscribe to?

'A Prairie Home Companion, The Collings & Herrin Podcasts, Stephen Fry's Podgrams, Mashuptown's Mashup Of The Week, The News Quiz and A Bit Of A Chat With Ken Plume (Quick Stop Entertainment).'

Is the DIY punk ethos of podcasting a good or bad thing?

'Very good indeed. It's refreshing to hear unfiltered content. Broadcasting will have to buck up its ideas in the wake of the Web's free-flowing and blustering content.'

Tell us a QI-style fact about podcasts.

'Would that I could. Listening to podcasts cures cancer. FALSE!'

You're a well-known fan of comic strips and baseball. Do you have any plans to do podcasts on either of those passions?

'Some things I do try to keep the job away from. I actually know a bit about newspaper strips, so I felt OK making a documentary about them for Radio 4 last year [Phill Jupitus's Comic Love]. But baseball is a passion that I'd just like to keep for myself. I did go on Five's baseball show, but that was a favour for [presenters] Erik, Gouldy and Josh.'

A recent survey showed that 6 million people in the UK have now downloaded a podcast. What are the other 55 million missing out on?

'They're missing out on a vibrant, joyful mess. Often for free.'
