  • Exceptional podcast

    These guys really know how to conduct an interview, just listened to the John Fogerty episode and I can certainly

    recommend that one to anyone who’s not sure where to start.

    He’s one of the finest songwriters

    ever and how nice to hear him asked such intelligent questions,not the

    usual generic rubbish.

    The hosts are very well researched and let their guests answer freely and easily,no sudden interruptions or pointless digressions.

    Basically as good as it gets.

  • Fantastic Podcast

    This has quickly become my favourite podcast. It’s fascinating to hear about the writing process of these legendary songwriters. I also love how many on them start the interview slowly and cautiously but end up excited and chatty.
