Chris DeMakes A Podcast

I look forward to driving to and from work now that I’ve discovered this podcast! As an old school LTJ fan from the way back it’s very cool to hear interviews w old touring mates from bands like MU330 and Skankin Pickle, ALL, etc. Also big name guests breaking down their hits like Huey Lewis and John Oates and more! Chris does a great job digging into the songwriting process and staying entertaining. As a musician myself it’s so cool to hear how some of my favorite musicians get their inspiration and how they write. Also really cool to hear from producers as well on crafting some of these records I’ve grown up with! (Hello Rockview interview) Highly recommend whether your a music fan or a musician or want to learn how to write songs! Keep up the great work Chris/Chris!

Chris and Chris have made an amazing podcast. It is impressive how much thought and analysis go into each episode. It’s awesome to hear guests shocked and impressed at the depth of analysis of their own songs. Chris Demakes both has a gifted ear for breaking down songs and a impressively accurate and detailed memory, and shares awesome stories from his own experience. If you guys wind up reading this out loud, just want to say “helloooooo!!!” And if you like this review, please give it 5stars because that’s what helps keep me writing reviews.

I have enjoyed all episodes I have listened to. Chris treats his guests with such respect and dissects each song with a child like wonder. Some highlights have been Aaron Barrett and Scott Klopenstein (RBF), Jeff Rosenstock, Butch Walker, Anthony Raneri (Bayside), and Shane Told (Silverstein). Keep it up guys!! Stay Groovy, J-Rod

One of my first listens every Monday — an outstanding production, and the conversations about the craft of songwriting & the insights into the recording process behind these tracks is fascinating. I always learn something new!
