Chris DeMakes A Podcast

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!

There are so many songs I hadn’t heard of from artists I already enjoyed. “The YMCA down the street from the clinic,” “drag my body,” just as a few examples. And the fact that John Oates was brought on to talk about Hall And Oates, my favorite band. 5 stars across the board. Keep the hits coming.
