  • Listen to this podcast (but you still shouldn't drink it)

    UPDATE: 150 episodes in and I’m still hooked. The introductory material is just as iconic today as it was in episode one. The production value was super high then and is even higher now. There’s even sponsors!

    Still comfortable. Still safe. Still just condensation.

  • Most inspiring podcast I have ever listened too

    Ryan does an excellent job at bringing in other professionals (mostly musicians) to talk about their stories. It is amazing to hear how Ryan is learning from his colleagues and what the general listener can learn! This IS NOT a podcast for musicians, but rather a podcast for anyone who wants to learn about ways to take different life approaches. 10/10 recommend and I hope you can learn something!

  • This podcast is one of the best resources for any musician.

    The stories I hear in this podcast are not only informative, but inspiring. I always listen to a few episodes leading up to an audition or an important performance. A professor showed me the podcast and, since then, I have been a big fan.
