  • Richtig cooler Podcast

    Investigates trifft den Nagel auf den Kopf.

    Pablo Held recherchiert unglaublich gut, stellt super Fragen und

    hört vor allem den Interviewgästen gut zu und lässt sie ausreden,

    ihren Gedanken nachgehen. Das gibt der ganzen Sache einen super

    Flow.

    Dieser Podcast ist für mich ein weiterer wichtiger Mosaikstein in

    Pablo Helds spannenden Musikkosmos.

    Neben den super Interviews finde ich auch die Audio Kommentare

    zu seiner eigenen Musik sehr inspirierend.
