  • The Magnificent Podcast!

    Billy proves himself to be a fantastic interviewer with a keen knack of finding his way to the essence of his guests to reach a perspective that can’t help but grasp the listener in.

    The interviewer with John Cowsill is a master example!

  • Interrupts

    Great interviews....however, Billy tends to interrupt quite often...tends to speak over people while they are finishing their thought...starting to get a bit irritating.

  • Good but…

    I like how Billy interviews, with some important knowledge and details that makes the conversation nice, but he needs to stop interrupting, and talk less about him and his experiences. The shows is not about his experiences!

    Besides that, I enjoy the podcast specifically the musicians guests.
