  • Excellent, Absorbing, Thoughtful, Engaging & Funny!

    This has consistently been the best interview podcast I've heard. Not only are the interviews I look forward to with artists whose work I already know fascinating and illuminating, even when I know nothing about the person it's a fascinating and worthy listen. The art of good conversation and knowledge exchange is alive and well on QLS!

  • If you love music

    Questlove Supreme episodes have blown my mind more consistently than any other podcast. So much great music has fallen by the wayside in our culture and has been left to collect dust on shelves. The Pointer Sisters should OBVIOUSLY be in the rock n roll hall of fame. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were MUSIC GODS. Questlove Supreme doesn’t give in to the narrative of what’s “cool” as has been defined by the tastemakers of the past. Blue Magic and Whodini RULED (Thank you Jermaine Dupri episode). If y... more
