Customer Reviews
Granger Smith
One of the best podcasts, I’ve listened to by you! And given the amount of hours, I listen between the radio show and the Bobbycast, etc. that is saying something. This episode inspired reflection and introspection that will last well beyond the hour and 23 minutes. I listened.
A MORGON WALLEN FAN
I think y’all need to bring in MORGON WALLEN in and ask him ‘bout his arrest and his new songs
Always listening
This is my favorite podcast. All of the behind the scenes in the music industry. Bobby knows how to eloquently lead conversations that are so interesting and worthwhile. I’ve listened to every one since the beginning of the Bobbycast.
