Listening to these podcasts is like sitting on a couch listening to two friends talking. Cheryl is a wonderful interviewer. She makes her interviewee so comfortable. Her anniversary interview with Carolan Solebello is a true gem. They are true buddies. Waiting for her to write"Me and Joni and Guacamole".
Apple Podcasts5FauxquiUnited States4 years ago - This pod IS folk music!
This pod is folk music in podcast form. What do I mean? It is of the people, for the people, by a person.... It is simple and straight forward. Stories are told. Emotions are shared. Connections are made. It is simply a delightful interview show that lifts the curtain and lets us meet the people behind the music in a genre where nobody is in it for glitz and fame, they're in it for the music.

Canada5 years ago - The hands-down BEST recorded interview of my ENTIRE career
Thanks to Cheryl and Shana at FolkPod for the hands-down BEST recorded interview of my ENTIRE career. I am humbled and grateful to be part of this endeavour, and really excited about it as a fan of the music. Listening to each episode, I have been engaged, entertained, and deeply moved. Each left me knowing the artist a little better and wishing the conversation could continue. Hoping for many more episodes in 2021 and beyond!
