  • Music Book Podcast

    This one keeps getting better. I love music books and Marc Masters mostly covers those that aren’t discussed in other review journals. The insider stuff on the craft is fun and never aloof, rather totally approachable. He knows his stuff. Best episode so far was his interview with Paul Steinbeck.

  • My new favorite podcast

    Music books are the new great frontier in music fandom/consumption, and Marc Masters has his finger on the pulse. His book choices are fascinating, and he’s incredibly personable in his interactions with his author-guests. His interest, warmth, kindness, and easygoing style breathe life into these conversations. This gets an A++ from me, and if you think two pluses aren’t enough, sure, go ahead, add a third.

  • If you like music and you like books, it doesn’t matter because this podcast is better than both.

    This podcast is a totally awesome look into some great music books…interviewing the authors to not only get into great info from the books but into the writing process as well!
