Always a fun listen.

Great guest. Great host.

Not a review, more praise

Jeremy is an encyclopedia of music and connections, and he uses that knowledge to create great dialogue with the musicians that have inspired him. Even when I don’t know who the guest is, I listen, learn and gain something. The radio hour is also a great way to find curated new music.

Awesome

Wonderful long form interviews, great questions, and very diverse guests in a myriad of creative mediums. Well done, Jeremy!
