Deke Sharon and Rob Dietz: the dynamic duo
Two giants of the a cappella world combine in a mix of professional insight and casual fun that is both entertaining and educational. The guests so far have been fantastic and exciting, and the varied segments even include “How To” portions to teach you how to make some of the iconic sounds in modern a cappella songs.
If you are at all interested in a cappella, you need to hear this podcast. At the very least, listen to the last five minutes, when they feature an original song from a favorite group. These hidden gems will inspire you.
