  • Superb

    I listened to the "Feel the Music" podcast and I was automatically brought back to Highschool band class. I actually played percussion as well so i understand the importance of hearing those beats and varios styles of rythem.

    It's truly wonder when considering the impact music can have on any individual. I was happy to hear this podcast and hear how percussion makes a lasting impression!

  • GREAT STORY TIMES

    I really enjoyed this podcast, it provided good interviews that were easy to understand. the subjects are all facisnating and overall its quality content.

    They use real life stories & it really drew me in even more, you'll have to listen to find out what I'm talking about but some of their stories really do seem "impossible", but that is what makes them even more inspirational.
