Love this!

Look forward to each new show as I’ve been introduced to so many artists I now follow. Hosts are great interviewers as well. Keep on🎶

corny hosts

the musical guests are great but sound stifled in conversation with the awkward/vanilla hosts, who have the least personality of anyone in podcasting. it’s occasionally funny to listen to their canned Q&A routine with artists but it’s mostly like listening to someone read you their music history homework at a party. just hard to listen to
