Excellent show, excellent host, excellent guests.

Open Mike has a great interview style. The episode with R.A.P. Ferreira is a very interesting discussion between two of my favourite artists.

Hidden Gem

Musicians interviewing musicians is always the best way to really learn about their art. Mike’s also a man of humour and dulcet tones, so this thing leaves nothing to be desired. Highly recommend his other podcast What Had Happened Was for deep dives of the careers of some of hip hop’s most influential figures
