  • Behind The Music Meets John Peel

    Why is this not like the biggest podcast on the planet??!! I recently discovered this show. Wow, the host knows her stuff! Each and every story is unique and complete with an authentic discussion between the host & artist, or biographer. I love that almost every genre is explored. You would think this was an NPR or network series! It’s like Behind the Music but it’s not formulaic at all. It’s just… perfectly great!! I’m a fan.

  • Text Prose & Rock n Roll ..... Rocks!

    As a guy who absorbs everything he can about all good music, I’m always searching for additional sources to discover new and interesting facts to satisfy that quest. This podcast does that, and more. I love that it does it with efficiency — every minute is worthwhile, no babbling filler here. And Kris’s journalism experience shines through in her professional delivery. And that voice!! ❤️. Very glad I found this!

  • A great listen for music fans!

    I recently found this podcast and love the interview format. Professional, but conversational; the right length with notable guests in the music industry. Kris is a rock solid interviewer that engages well, is genuinely interested in the topics, and is able to pull-out interesting facts and stories from her guests. I’m a Gen X’er, so the Matt Pinfield was really cool, and I loved the interview with Martin Popoff discussing Rush, one of my favorite bands. Check this show out now!! - Jay from Mov... more
