  • Love the show, but please do something about the ads

    Wonderful interviews with musicians whose work I love, but was just listening to an episode where an ad that was twice as loud as the show started when the interviewee was mid-sentence. Maybe this is just supposed to be motivation to sign up for the patreon but come on

  • If you love music this is a must

    The questions here are just perfect. They get so much out of each guest and give an insight into musicians that few other shows are able to attain. Brad is fantastic as host and the collection of guests is phenomenal. Fascinating whether you know the interviewee or not.
