  • Great podcast for keeping up with what's happening in music, not just bands and musicians, but also famous music fans. Nicely paced with usually more than one guest per episode.

    Paul does his research. He’s been in the music business as a musician, is well informed and does enough research to ask great questions. In every episode I’ve learned something about the industry.
