I’m so enjoying this podcast! However, sometimes I cannot hear what the guest or one of you are saying when someone else is adding to the conversation. If possible it would be really nice to have no one saying anything while one person is talking.
Other than that, y’all are GREAT!!!!!
Great interviews & a GREAT logo for the podcast! Keep up the great work!
Very thoughtful interviews by 2 industry veterans. They do their homework on every guest. They ask questions the listener wants asked. Highly recommend!
I hope you'll have Phil Johnson on to talk about his experiences producing so many great artists, as well as the wonderful songs he wrote.
Singing Tenor for one of the groups that Dusty represents, I can attest to his passion for great “ Heart Music “ as he calls it. Looking forward to the words of wisdom that comes from these 2 guys..
