Customer Reviews
My favourite Podcast
This podcast is so fascinating to listen to. Growing up hearing these artists play and then hearing them talk in-depth about their lives just makes me smile. The stuff I’ve discovered and learned with every interview just keeps me coming back for more.
Well done, Joe! Keep up the amazing work! Also, would love to hear an interview with Patrick Wilson from Weezer, if possible!
Snared by the Trap Set
This has become one of my favourite podcasts. Joe’s generous and conversational interview style allows his guests to often open up about so much more than just drumming. An inspiring listen.
The best!
