Come to Where I'm From

most music interviews are by professionals that frankly don’t understand music. most journalists are english or poly sci majors, etc. what is great about joseph is he is a musician himself that had his own success with a solo career. he knows his stuff, has impeccable taste, and great insight. he asks smart questions and gets things out of artists you don’t hear in other formats, because he understands the industry and process. not a fan of his covid comments, and seems closed-minded to other points of view when it comes to culture/ politics, but then again he’s not a political scientist or scholar, so its easy to ignore and doesn’t come up too much like it does on joe rogan which has essentially become a political talk show. he keeps it about the music and universal human experiences. overall well-meaning and compassionate. refreshing when theres so many podcasts out there that seem to be angry. hope he makes more! mark lanegan podcast is the best interview i ever seen of mark.

Such wonderful insightful natural feeling podcast. A combination of living life, art and music with a conversational tone that makes the time go by fast.

But enough about you (guest), let’s make it about me (Host)

I appreciate this podcast for its vast lineup of unique guests and when the conversations are good, they’re pretty incredible. The guests often seem comfortable in Joseph’s company (which is great) and that allows them to dig a little bit deeper into topics of discussion. This podcast certainly has its faults though, it has kind of painted Joseph Arthur in a whole new light for me. Joseph has a true knack for interrupting his guests while talking over them. Joe’s constant belittling of Ehud throughout the episodes grows a bit tiring also. He sometimes seems much more interested in talking about himself than he does hearing what his guests have to say and that can be a bit of a turn off. However, guests such as Barrett Martin and Alejandro Escovedo tend to make the listening aspect so much better.
