Love this concept

Great stuff guys, hope this podcast continues to grow. A lot of fun to listen to producers/engineers gush over dream gear

Addictive subscription

Simplicity is the name of this game. 3 freebies + 6 pieces of gear is all they get. The fun part is the stories and discussions from the guests on why they choose what. It’s a repeatable formula that is fresh and interesting with every person they interview, whether it’s a live punk rock engineer or a laptop EDM producer. Great stuff.
