Love this podcast. Feels like I am part of the conversation in this intimate setting. Please make a thousand more episodes.

Pleased to discover this music pod, enjoyed the first few, looking forward to more, thanks guys.
This is an excellent show. Very much enjoyed the topic at hand, and bravo to Daniel for being able to pick off the musical examples on the piano.
If you’re taking requests: a three-parter about Mahler would be outstanding. 🙂
I didn’t know that there was a way to mix my two loves in one podcast… i’m a musician that never took lessons, purely self-taught, but also a giant Comedy nerd; I love Isabel so much! Saw her in Raleigh a few years back… please don’t stop with this podcast. Daniels Magic fingers were hypnotizing on that first episode. INCREDIBLE JOB SIR. I can’t wait for the next episode!
