He picks the best guests to interview, people you never hear about anymore. Highlights are Courtney Love, Pat Boone, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, mostly the music industry guests are the best ones.
Why would you include Pat Boone’s nauseating, genocidal, religious racism at that end of his episode?
Hi Billy, I grew up listening to you with the Smashing Pumpkins my later years of high school in my college years. I loved your music and now I love enjoying listening to your podcast with these amazing people. I think the way you carry yourself in these interviews is very real and classy ,
interesting and informative. I love seeing this side of you. Thank you for sharing these episodes. You’re quite talented.
I like Billy but he is a really awkward interviewer. Asks esoteric questions that make the guest uncomfortable and there are lots of awkward pauses before he asks something. Also I’m shocked at the gaps in his music knowledge. The interview with David J Haskins was just embarrassing with Billy stumbling though the Jamaican influences on UK music. That whole section probably should have been edited out lol
What an awesome show. Great guests, intriguing stories, Billy is perfect in the interviewer role.
