Customer Reviews
GEDDY LEE!!!
Fabulous chat with the fabulous Rush frontman! Perfection for lifelong Jays & Rush fans. Never heard the word Willowdale on a podcast until today.❤️ Great questions, and he was so engaging and gracious. Still can’t believe we’re using past tense talking about Peart… 😢 Also loved Stripling! Really appreciated his comment about the locker room looking the same on a 10 game winning streak as 10 game losing skid. So insightful. Hit it out if the park with this one, Mike!
Enjoyable podcast, but Mike, please get a mic
I’m enjoying the couple episodes of the podcast that I’ve listened to so far. Can I just make a suggestion though - a pro mic would be appreciated. It kinda sounds like you’re recording from inside of a giant plastic bottle with the mic you’re using at the moment. Enjoyed the Lourdes interview - would love to hear more stuff like that! Thanks for doing this podcast!
Show notes
