    I’m constantly amazed by the amount of knowledge that Paul Myers has in the music business. But not only that he is a successful writer that gives him an uncanny ability to communicate with his audience. Tons of stuff here that I never knew and so happy that I listen to this podcast.

  • Music Lover’s Paradise

    Paul, I never would have found this podcast if you weren’t on “Fly On the Wall.” So glad I heard you mention it because this podcast is a music lover’s paradise. Just listened to your interview with Peter Guralnick, and have only read his excellent “Finding Robert Johnson.” Now I have much more to read! Your interview style is so casual and informative. Keep up the great work. Oh, and I also plan to add your John Candy bio book to my list of Christmas purchases - for myself and a few friends.

  • Great show!

    This is consistently a great podcast with amazing interviews with superstars and (equally interesting) lesser known artists.

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Mountain Goats' John Darnielle Returns!
Q: But what drives John Darnielle to create?
He writes quickly when in a flow, often finishing songs in the same week; he aims to tell stories that reveal something of himself, even when fictionalized, and believes that the past informs present artistic choices.
Lenny Kaye
Q: Did Patti Smith have a hand in any songs on Goin Local, or was it clearly your own voice?
Patti did not perform on the record, but we collaborated on Solstice where she helped sculpt the lyrics and prose; the musical performance was mine, and we both contributed to the final form in different ways.
Lenny Kaye
Q: What drew you to make a solo album after so many years, and how does it relate to your collecting and curating work?
The solo album emerged as a personal, reflective project that allowed me to express intimate moments and relationships. It's less about hitting a hit and more about capturing a moment in time and sharing my emotional truth through song, in the same way I curate memories and artifacts from my life.
Omnivore Recordings co-founder Cheryl Pawelski
Q: What was the first Omnivore release you worked on and how did that shape the label?
Cheryl describes the Big Star Third Test Pressing Edition as the inaugural project that defined Omnivore's approach to limited editions, archival context, and collaboration with Ardent and Jody Stevens.
Amy Grant
Q: What is the significance of the two words Lean in?
Lean in represents a shift from frustration to proactive rehabilitation, using neuroplasticity and creativity—especially songwriting—as tools to re-engage with life and music after the head injury.
