No fluff, no surprise agenda. Just great musicians having wonderful conversations. The sound quality is exceptional and consistent. Host Jameson is so thoughtful with his questions and guidance in the direction of the conversation. As a lifelong musician, I feel like I’m in a room with friends when I’m listening to Nordic Sound.
I’m so intrigued by the music, the history, the insight. The guests are interesting and Jameson is a wonderful podcaster!
