  • The Cure Ate Her

    I’ve been driving from Denver to Rapid City and back once a week. John’s wonderfully curated (see what I did there?) podcast soothes my rattled nerves as I navigate between Denver and Cheyenne, and elevates my bliss as I soar across the countryside the rest of the way. The fact that he did once play a song of mine does NOT influence my opinion (<whisper> Ep. 371). No other music program of any kind holds a candle to Hypnagogue.

  • The Best

    A great podcast. I’ve been listening to John’s podcast for many years now. For me it’s the best show out there. Hosted by someone who really loves the music and the priority is always the music.

    I can’t imagine my life without it.

    Thanks John!
