I was listening to your interview with Pat Boone the other day and I found it to be absolutely interesting, insightful, and amazing! I must admit I don’t know much about him, but I certainly know a lot more now. Thanks to you. I think it’s pretty cool that a 90s alt rocker such as yourself can be interviewing all these different legends in all genres of music. Your interviews are great and you always managed to keep it light. It’s like a Billy Corgan I never knew existed. Keep up the good work a... more
he’s a bit sloppy or just lazy with his research prior to interviews. Too many cringe-worthy mistakes and wrong facts with guests. But Billy is such a genuine human being.
Difficult Interview. Dude couldn’t hardly tell you who his parents are or where he went to high school. But, love both Billy and Tommy Lee
Billy is killing it on this podcasts. I’m not a musician and he’s got me fascinated by the history of production and all aspects of the business. Great anecdotes. He knows his stuff and his love of all genres & decades is palpable.
Billy is getting a lot of flack in the comments for his ability to interview…stop, he gets to places others can’t, well spoken. Compare him to the other “popular” podcasts and this is better. Keep it going, these stories need to be told!
