- Inspiring and insightful
My new favourite podcast. What a joy it is to hear these extraordinary artists describe their musical histories with such honesty and candour. Keith's appreciation and knowledge of music shines through every question he raises, and his guests generally respond by engaging in conversation that is equal parts reflective, philosophical, and galvanising. In my opinion, this podcast is entitlted to the very same degree of success and longevity as its subjects.

Australia2 years ago - Brilliant interview
The Crowded House episode might just be one of my favourite Neil Finn interviews. Questions stayed away from the obvious, and Neil sounded like he genuinely enjoyed the chat. Not an easy thing to do, well done 🙌

United Kingdom2 years ago - Insightful and inspirational
I think one of the finest compliments I can pay this podcast is that I find the episodes about artists I know relatively little about just as enjoyable as the ones about artists whose music I’ve loved for years (ok, decades).

United States3 years ago - Insightful reflections on the Rollercoaster world of music survivors
So this is fast becoming my favourite music related podcast. It does what no other podcast seems to do, and that is to discuss the highs and inevitable pitfalls of the rock survivor. Looking at a music career from an alternative lens requires a podcaster who has experience of this business but also asks really engaging questions and builds a natural rapport with the guest. Well Keith absolutely nails this. Highly recommend!
