- Great work
I’m thoroughly enjoying Matt’s program. Matt’s knowledge and enthusiasm for bluegrass brings out the best in his guests. They know he “gets it” and open themselves to interesting discussions. I’m referencing select episodes for a book I’m working on. Keep up the great work, Matt. -Mike Fiorito

Matt is a gifted interviewer. He’s a super fan of the music and players just like the rest of us who come here to listen
What sets him apart is that he does his homework, asks wonderfully informed and open ended questions … and then gets out of the way. This is a rare gift and the resulting conversations are so much richer for it
5 stars

Apple Podcasts5prettypooterUnited Statesa year ago - Wonderful podcast!
Where has this podcast been all my life!? I had searched for bluegrass oriented podcast but for some reason I never found this one but I love it to the core! I’m currently listening to the episodes of the 40th anniversary of Tony Rice’s Church Street Blues LP. This particular LP is how I like Tony Rice’s music the best. It was my introduction to his music and is ever closest to my heart. Again this is an outstanding podcast. Love it!
