  • Great guests. Get outta the way!

    Just listened to the Ty Segall episode and have tuned in and out of this pod over years and years because of the great guests. But dang, get out of the way of the questions!

Also the Canadian perspecti... more

    Many of these interviews are interesting in spite of the interviewer. The host seems to struggle to cede the spotlight to the guests. Instead of questions unfolding organically from the interview, many of these interviews seem to follow pre-planned and often disjointed outlines that often reveal more about the host than the musician being interviewed.

  • Once Nice Show, Sadly Now Exclusive

    I used to enjoy listening to Kreative Kontrol. Now I can’t listen to the episodes I want because it’s clearly stacked so that the most intriguing guests appear every other episode and those episodes requires a monthly subscription to hear. I don’t begrudge Vish making this project his primary source of income, but surely to be under the umbrella of Lionsgate and with the annoying in-episode advertising the show was self sustaining? This subscription malarkey seems a step too far, and now I won’t... more
