As a lifelong music lover, who's accomplishments will probably never exceed learning how to hook up a PA for my weekend bar cover band, I can't tell you how much I enjoy this podcast. Hearing the history of PAs from the humble beginnings is just incredible - Bob shows a lot of pride in his craft, plus the determination and willingness to roll up his sleeves and "make it happen". I'm so glad that this podcast has returned - I missed it while it was gone! Can't wait for the next episode!

I was fortunate to get to meet Bob Heil last April. I really wish he had more time to tell me the stories of his years in the music industry and now I can hear more of them. He suggested I listened to this podcast, I can't say enough kind words for him as a person and as a person and as a audio master. You will not be disappointed in listening to this podcast. I can only hope he makes more as I can't find a better podcast that I look forward to hearing when I see it pop up on my playlist. I have... more

The podcasts are really interesting! I recently wrote to Heil tech service with a question about impedance matching for a Heil mic and an old Kenwood boat anchor and I got a response from Bob Heil. I thought, is that ‘the’ Bob Heil and it sure as hell was. This guy is amazing!
