  • Bob is a legend

    Great interviews done in a somewhat unconventional style. Might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but he’s done/lived the research. Deep dives into topics, personalities and music. Highly recommend.

  • I’m a fan

    I listen to 90% of Bob’s podcasts and really enjoy them. He asks the tough and uncomfortable questions, even ones I wouldn’t ask but I’m glad he does.

    And he almost always has excellent guests, even the ones I’m not familiar with usually end up being interesting

  • Mr. Know-It-All

    He does a great and uncomfortable interview with his guests. But Bobby-Boy acts like he knows everything.

  • Soothsayer. Town Crier.

    This man is 1 of 1.

    Bob doesn’t chase trends. The industry may be filled with noise, but Bob cuts through with clarity and conviction. He asks the questions no one else will, and people answer him because they know he actually listens. What you get isn’t spin. It’s truth. And that’s rare.
