  • 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. Subbed to the pod version so i can listen while i do stuff. 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. Any music really.

  • No Childers?

    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.

  • Great energy, host is excellent!

    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!
