  • Wonderful & Comforting

    Berkeley is such a wonderful, warm, engaging host, with great wit, a fantastic voice, and great empathy. This podcast has brought me so much comfort over the last year, always puts a smile on my face and makes me feel happy to be alive. I don’t know much about classical music, but I love listening to it and the stories behind the music for the guests.
