I love that I get introduced to new artists. This is what is happening in country music now. No longing for old times. These are the new good old days!
Stumbled across this on YT. If I'm honest, i hadn't really thought about Rolling Stone since the 90s, but i really enjoyed the interviews i watched so Subbed to the pod version Thought I'd stick to the eps featuring people I'm familiar with, but Joseph is such a great, empathetic interviewer that it turns out I enjoy all of it. Really recommend if you're into music at all.
UPDATE text still stands but have to reduce 4 stars to 1 due to the presence of gambling ads. What a shame

Subbed to the pod version so i can listen while i do stuff.

Any music really.
This pod originated the same week as a Tyler Childers album release and you’ve not covered it. Frankly I’m shocked that there is hardly any Tyler content across the Apple Podcast platform- so go ahead and make up for this, better late than never.
The teaser for this podcast came up in my feed and even though Im not a huge Country music fan, I’m always up for interview podcasts with interesting people and this did not disappoint! Host is knowledgeable and intent on making sure the interview isn’t just a live version of a press release. Keep up the great work!
