  • Phenomenal

    I have been listening to this podcast for several years. There is so much to take in, that I have listened to episodes more than once with the same enjoyment every time. It is fascinating to hear so much background detail. I have also “discovered” new composers and artists. The guests have such a good time that it feels like a party.
