  • I’ll be back.

    I don’t listen to many pods, but I’m enjoying this one. Great curation of who she chooses to talk with. I really enjoyed the convos with Luke Temple and Kevin Morby. I’ll be a regular listener.

  • Like talking to your Music Friend

    Dylan feels like I'm talking to a good friend who knows the ins and outs of all the bands.

    Don't get deceived by the the comfortable very personable feel - the interviews are deep, and wonderfully constructed.

    Jenn Wassner was a great interview
