  • Amazing podcast

    I love the idea of artists talking about the art that sparks their creativity. Through the podcast I’ve discovered loads of great new artists, off beat movies, and had my love of certain random shows and films validated! The host is fantastic, really well researched and lovely laid back interview style. Always entertaining and well worth adding to your podcast rotation.

  • Good concept, lot of room to grow

    I really like the idea behind this podcast, but the execution needs some polishing. The host begins the interviews with energy but it decreases quickly, with a lot of hesitation and slow delivery of connectors for the next topic. This contributes to the listener lost of interest and disengagement.

    Good news, there’s room to grow and I believe with some interview engagement techniques and preparation, this podcast can attain an exponential positive gain.

    Good luck and don’t give up.
