  • Best Podcast for music production.

    I enjoy listening and reading (5-Minute Music Producer) to me, this is the best podcast out period. I’m always going through these blocks, but when I listen to your interviews and words of wisdom, I feel inspired. I don’t immediately jump into making beats, but I feel a whole lot better and I know when I start again, I’ll be ready and inspired.
