  • One of the best Bass podcasts, but so much more!

    Ryan interviews a lot of players I’ve never heard of before. These are the Master Craftpersons and there is something special to be gleaned from each episode! Ryan seems to ask all the questions I would want answers for!

  • Ask the question and shut up!

    Dude, you got some cool cats on the podcast and we want to hear what they have to say. There is nothing worse than the host asking a question then the guest starts to answer and the host interrupts. Just shut the F up and lets here what the guest has to say. Got it!
