Reviews

4.9 out of 5 stars from 28 ratings
  • Very cool listen

    Really cool podcast to listen to, you get to hear new artists and old artists and the inside stories that you would usually never hear about that artist. How the music industry is such a grind and how dirty it can be. If you are a fan of music or looking to get into this line of work, it’s a must listen. Plus Eric and Stephen either making fun of eachother or hearing the artists they have toured with
