The year was 2015. Show host Blake Wyland intended to start a podcast where he took a deep dive with his guests from the guitar world to explain their rigs. What happened was that, but also a whole lot more. The show quickly evolved into discussions about people's lives. Guitars, pedals, amps, etc. are the central hub of the show, but it really is more about the PEOPLE behind all of it. Both the m... more

  • All the Cool Kids

    This pod is so much fun to listen to.Most of the time it’s pure gear bliss. Some of the conversations get deep into gear and some get into mindset and philosophy of musicians and other creative people in the music industry. Blake is a fun loving guy and he knows his stuff, seems like a good guy and it must be cool hanging out with him. So many great great topics and conversations on this podcast. Fun stuff for people that love everything about music

  • Lots of fascinating stuff.

    I’m not really a fan of interview shows so I didn’t expect I’d like this as much as I do.

  • A must listen every week.

    Blake has a ton of amazing artists, creators, and stars on each week and the content never fails to entertain. The patreon episodes get even crazier. He even has been known to do giveaways from time to time and my wife won one. First time we’ve ever legit won anything from a show. So that was awesome. Can’t say enough good things!
