  • Essential listening

    Marc is a great interviewer, and the people he has on the podcast — and the topics they discuss — are top-rate, hence my five star review. I don’t listen to many podcasts, but this is an exception.

  • One of my favorites

    Whether he’s interviewing a writer on the topic of a band or musical subject, or a musician who has written a memoir about their experiences, Marc has a way of bringing out the best in these conversations and making them interesting even if you’re not a giant fan of that particular artist or music scene. And you’ll always come away better informed and with new listening you want to do. The topic seems very specific but this is truly one of the most wide-ranging music pods out there.
