The artists this guy gets on are fantastic w great things to say, but the interviewer himself is an absolute moron. He’s ignorant and insulting and too dumb to notice. Fortunately for him his guests are too gracious to point this out. Don’t know why these artists subject themselves to the humiliation of this podcast.
Great interview! DeLaughter IS a gift!!! Have seen The Spree twice and both times were fantastic! Now I live in DFW & have visited Good Records. Can’t wait to see their Christmas show & take my son. Thanks for a great episode!
Jon Lamoreax asks the burning questions most other journalists and podcasters are too afraid - and/or uninformed - to ask. With a wonderful bias toward obscure 80s musical artists and producers, The Hustle delivers in entertaining, surprising, and unique ways. Thanks for delivering a consistently great pod.
