Outstanding podcast. Will listen to every episode.
Fun conversations that quickly segue into music history. Great way to discover new artists!
Thanks for the music history, always a great show. ***Please consider taking the repetitive music loop out from under your essay, it’s so distracting. I usually pause and read that part in the transcript cause you it’s amazing information , but that repeating loop drives me batty.*** Keep up the great work!!
