Can’t remember how I stumbled upon this podcast but finished the interview with Jorma Kaukonen, my favorite guitarist. Excellent!!!!
Apple Podcasts5Bean of PintoUnited States4 years ago - Learn something new!
I love this podcast. It’s light, breezy and conversational but it’s not fluff. I learn something new every episode- especially loved the Debbie Gibson episode- have mad respect for a (then) teen female singer-songwriter who owns her own music! The production is seamless and the stories are wonderful. 5 stars!
