Reviews
- Comforting + inspiring
I love watching Sean + Pete play live at Largo with many of the musicians on this podcast. They’re so relaxed, funny, thoughtful, and immensely talented, and this podcast feels like following them from the stage back to the studio. Hearing how they put a song together inspires me to go write my own music. I do think people need to realize that there is a ton of mutual respect and, in many cases (if not all), well established friendship, among these musicians. This isn’t two random hosts inviting... more

I have greatly enjoyed this podcast. Keep in mind most of the musicians coming on this are friends with Sean and/or Pete, so it’s a different interaction from someone they do not know. The episode with Garrison was particularly charming because she is so sweet and such a talent. I love hearing the process of of figuring out the lyrics. I hope they will do a showcase of all the songs at Largo. I would love if they do another season of this will more Largo alums, like Jackson Brown or Benmont Tenc... more
Apple Podcasts5Ginger-ChipsUnited Statesa year ago - Not Great
I like the idea of this podcast but it is so poorly executed. The songwriting behemoth’s they have as guests are put on the spot to write something with to many people in the room. This is not a curtain I needed to see pulled back. I love Theo Katzman but his episode got totally hijacked by another songwriter with super heavy baggage. I also despise the ads in the middle of a creative thinking space. If you want to do this properly just make a record with these artists. Don’t subject fans of the... more
Apple Podcasts1Half HollowUnited Statesa year ago - Ouch
It’s hard to ruin anything associated with Madison Cunningham, but with their second episode—the only one I’ve listened to and am now likely to listen to—these guys have managed to pull it off. We’re promised this amazing musician/songwriter/singer collaborating with two guys to create a song on the spot and what we mostly get is two guys who won’t shut up and let us actually hear from her. It’s not only rude and annoying, it’s just plain boring—neither of them has anything interesting to say, t... more
