  • Love this podcast but I want better questions

    Love this podcast but as a songwriter I don’t feel like he asks about the songwriting process for the writers he interviews as much as I would like. Or even how the writing process was for certain songs that his guests wrote. The interviews feel more general and like a friend hang more than an informative technical behind the scenes writing interview.
