  • A smashing podcast…

    It’s thrilling to hear one of my musical heroes “talk shop” with other musicians. Billy’s curiosity, research, and knowledge— pop cultural, musical, literary, philosophical, etc.— enable him to ask excellent questions, making for rich interviews filled with discoveries. I do enjoy it when he forges connections to his own life, experiences, and artistic process.

  • I like Bill, but …

    He’s a bit sloppy or just lazy with his research prior to interviews. Too many cringe-worthy mistakes and wrong facts with guests.
