  • Great podcast

    Big fan. This guy is a great interviewer of other musicians, and the Grateful Dead choice at the end is the cherry on top.

    This guitar player interviewed this month (Nov 2022) has a sound a little bit like Adam Jones from Tool. I’d love to see this guy play with Danny Carey.
