  • Aspiring to Be Average

    It takes some real skill to stay on the sarcasm train for a whole hour long episode, but that’s exactly what these guys did. And in the first episode back after summer break! I too will aspire to be average

  • Love it!

    I have just recently started listening to this after being introduced to it by a friend of mine. I absolutely love it! I am a Trumpet player in my undergrad and this podcast is very helpful, while still being absolutely hilarious.

    I think this is a great resource for anyone who wants to learn more about professional trumpet players and specifically what great teachers and players think about and find important to share from their own lives.

  • Issues with the Mix

    I love this podcast and all the content. It loses one star for me only because the mix isn’t great. Joey’s mic is loud, Bill’s mic is fine, but Brian’s mic is always lower volume than the rest. The music between sections is great, but it also sounds to me louder than the mics. I love the content, I just wish the volume was more consistent between all the elements.
