This is just an outstanding podcast. If you like interviews it doesn’t get any better than this but if you grew up in the 80s or 90s listening to hip hop then this is just paradise. Open Mike Eagle is everything you want in a host: he has a palpable enthusiasm for his subjects; he asks interesting questions; he’s authentic; and he listens! The four guests so far have all been addictive listening, making these season-long interviews feel too short. Please don’t stop!
Most excellent

In depth, funny, sensitive. 3 Stella series deep and I can’t wait for more. I’m going back over the old episodes. Thanks !
A real treat

Just brilliant, Mike is a great interviewer - he makes each episode seem like a conversation rather than an interview and you feel privileged to hang out with them all. As a huge fan of the musicians covered it is great to get a lot of backstory to the various projects.
