  • Steve Katz

    Robert, you’ve done it again—taken me back to the 60’s folk/rock/jazz era that shaped me, and during which we came together in Boston to introduce those sounds to our radio listeners.

Steve’s vocals have torn at the heart for 55 years, and now I know why. I have to cut this sh... more

  • Informative and extremely entertaining

    Listened to the Brian Hyland interview yesterday and I was amazed at how much ground Robert covered in his interview, asking all the pertinent questions I would want to know the answers to!

    In addition, we got to hear some of Robert’s own great music which appeared to be perfectly segued into this in such a natural, easy way.

    Robert masterfully exudes an easy rapport with the artist he is interviewing which makes the entire piece seem to glide like silk. Loved the whole piece and am truly look... more
