  • Interview we’ll done

    Mike was a pleasure to talk to. I was extra pleased to see one of my favorite musicians Robert Walter on the episode after mine, and to hear the show was voted in as a top 100 podcast.

    Keep going man. Beautiful production and curation.

  • I love this podcast.

    I love this podcast. The more I listen the more I understand that funk is a lot more than just a genre or style of music. It is also worldwide community of creators and artists connected by common musical ancestors. Every episode, Michael and his guests focus on a particular expression of funk. And it is much more than just a history lesson - they actually play the music that they’re talking about on this podcast.

    After listening for a while, a bigger picture of the “funk world” has come in... more

  • Funky and smart!

    I love it when artists get to talk about their craft, the things they love. This is clearly the aim of this podcast and Michael B is a fantastic host with the knowledge and discipline to know when to prod further, when to “fanboy” out, and when to just let the artist talk. I’d give it 6 stars if I could.
