Jason Fraley knows how to have a thoughtful, insightful conversation and it is a pleasure to be able to listen. He’s a passionate fan of all categories of culture and entertainment and he makes his guests, those who have been asked everything before and those who are newer to interviews and possibly nervous, feel comfortable and engaged.
I have no clue how I found this, but I really like it. Great questions, and letting the guest answer them without interrupting them. I need to listen to the rest of the conversations. Great job, you got a new friend. Thanks. BJ Graves
Right to the point, Jason delivers the greatest music icons of my childhood thru adulthood. What make the shows special is he allows the guests to open up,sharing great stories; new & old. Jason’s podcast WINS !
Where did he get that lame theme music. And his knowledge of his guest’s body if work is often lacking.
Jason’s charm and knowledge of films makes this podcast a must listen! It’s been a joy listening and learning about the industry. Super entertaining and will now always be a part of my podcast rotation.
