Beautiful pairings!
Wonderful concept, wonderful host
Attended a live taping of the show in Cleveland, and immediately fell in love with the concept and how Ben conducted the interview. Looking forward to following this show for as long as it runs!
Looking Forward to More
Long-time fan of Arthur’s music. It’s fun to hear stories that have sparked his interest & learn more about his writing process.
I’m looking forward to hearing from his guests, as well.
