Customer Reviews
Best music podcast
Craig has great guests & his level of conversation is exactly what you want from a music podcast.. Entertaining, funny, serious & great insight to musicians lives, as well as a bit of music nerd insight + every good conversation that you could have that’s also not about music. It’s not PR lead & his guests actually relax too with conversation that’s not boring. 10/10.
The best rock / music podcast!
By far the best…effortless, funny and informative! Craig will be the GOAT of this genre in a couple of years.
Best music podcast for both fans and musicians
Craigs interview style is a friendly chat that delves into layers of conversation that you just don’t get from others. Every episode is worth a listen, some of my faves have been bands that I have never been into, but the insights into how they got started and behind the scenes convo’s on the industry and touring etc have been great (Slipknot episode comes to mind). Aside from the above, Craig comes across as a merciless professional in seek of perfection in whatever he does, he has an admirable work ethic that shows in quality of these episodes, both in content and production.
Hope you manage to bag Lars dude
