  • OMG!!! Who mixes this????????

    Such a great premise, Great Guests, Great questions, but these mixes sound awful!!! The Keith Urban interview sounds like they are walking across a gravel path while making tinfoil origami! it hurts my ear holes. DO NOT LISTEN WITH EARBUDS!!! What a shame...

    Maybe I misunderstood about this app? I can’t get any good country music, then if you want to hear them talk about themselves like ( Keith urban )?there are hardly any that talk about the new age bands. I’m really disappointed

  • Ugh

    Could the interviewer just get out of the way? He learned interviewing from Charlie Rose, but with poorer grammar. It’s such a shame, because the podcast premise is great. Deleting now .....

  • Bad music

    I was hoping the music selection would be better than what it is which is top 40 pop music.

  • The only HSW show I can’t listen to

    Only show that has inspired me to review. I would have not rated and reviewed if it was not for the shows pretentious name, unrelenting commercials. I tried listening before reviewing and found it unbearable. HSW should put their money into The Daily Zeitgeist, STBYM, Stuff the don’t want you to know,SYSK basically anything else.
