I’ve been a 25+ fan of Rhett and The Old 97s. I have seen them 6+ times and listen to just about everything they have done. How am I just learning about Rhett’s podcast? I guess I e been Asleep at the Wheel (see what I did there). Rhett is insightful, empathetic and a quietly greater interviewer. I highly recommend this pod and is now in my rotation. Sorry I missed the first 200 episodes!
This is a great podcast. My husband and I binge listen to it on road trips. We love the format, the amazing conversations about the creative process. It’s very inspiring. Please keep them coming. Thanks, Rhett!
Rhett’s the best. Excellent guests. Thoughtful and smart conversations.
Love Rhett. He is an insightful and sympathetic interviewer. And also a wonderful guy.
The convo with Dar Williams was great. It made me want to sign up for songwriting retreats with BOTH of them!
