I hope Chris resumes these podcasts. They’re very insightful to both the writers & the business.
Chris does a great job interviewing and has great guests that offer a wealth of knowledge to musicians and songwriters. I am neither, but I am very fascinating with the industry, so I love to hear and learn from him and his guests!
I started listening to this on my morning walk. I have pretty much listened to every episode, some more than once. Chris does a great job with this show. You can’t go wrong listening to any of the episodes. There are some amazing life and success stories here!
This is awesome to hear the stories behind the songs! CHRIS is great and his style is laid back and conversational & very enjoyable to listen to!
Love this podcast, I’ve learned so much already and I’m only a few episodes in! Hope to hear an episode with HARDY and Ernest in the future!
I absolutely love the insight on the songwriters perspective! As an upcoming songwriter myself, I thought I already knew a lot of info and I keep learning more each episode! Thank you for sharing with the world!
Absolutely love Chris and this show!
Being a songwriter lover this is IT
One of my favorite podcasts up until the latest episode with Devon. Stick to the music and steer clear of the politics!!! Nonsense for a songwriting podcast to be picking sides or stating “help the other side deal with their fear”. Fear mongering goes both ways in today’s political climate. A shame we can’t enjoy podcasts about songwriting, sports or anything entertainment oriented without it being thrown in our face.
A great podcast
Chris’s podcast is well designed with interviews of accomplished songwriters. He asks good questions that yield insights on how songs are born and ultimately heard by music listeners. I really appreciate his efforts in the podcast.
Here are suggestions to make it even better:
•Please let the guests answer the questions asked before interjecting. In some episodes, the host does more than 50 percent of the talking. At times I found myself saying, “Chris, I like the podcast, but PLEASE let the... more
A breathe of
Fresh air.
This podcast is awesome. It's not set up like an interview, but just a discussion. It has great info. This podcast gives you some great insight into Nashville and the business.
This is the first review I have ever written for a podcast. I have listened to a lot of bad podcasts, but I’ve never felt the need to leave a review until now.
Today, I listened to this podcast for the first time (the Colbie Caillat episode). The host repeatedly interrupted his guest. He would ask his guest to elaborate on some story, and within five or ten seconds, he would interrupt the guest, and then proceed to finish the story he had asked the guest to tell. How rude.
He started the episo... more
This is exactly the podcast I have been waiting to find! This is fantastic insight into the heart and soul of the creative writers. Thank you for putting out such great contact!
Hard to listen to because the host continually talks over the guests.
