Hell of a Debut

A fine first podcast. Funny, heartbreaking, interesting,joyful...I dunno what else you could wish for in 30 minutes?! Can't wait to listen to others and see how the series grows. Ryan is a natural to this. His passion oozes out of the speakers like a warm cup of coffee to the ears. Although I don't recommend pouring coffee in your ears. That's just wrong. Download this podcast, it's much safer.

Interesting, inciteful and inspirational

Ryan Hamilton is a funny, intelligent and warm host. This is an interview with the Brendin Lea, lead singer of Flickerstick, a band who like many other have been shafted by the huge machine that is the music industry. A great listen a little peak into behind the scenes of what some artists go through when trying to follow their dreams.

Popped my podcast cherry

Love this guy. None of that “rock star” bull - this is a dude you could take down the pub and have a banter about all manner of things and not feel he’s out of place.
He’s made himself popular through much hard work, and dedication to regular contact with his fans over social media at all times of day or night. That and some damn fine music.
Funny, positive and alarmingly engaging, I will certainly look forward to seeing him next Tuesday. (Well, every 2 weeks anyway).
