Sounds Good To Me is a music discovery podcast. In each episode, Ben, a music nerd, chats with his guest about the music (s)he's loving right now. It could be the latest song from an indie band or a group of classic hits—if it's new to our guest, we'll talk about it. Ben then recommends songs for his guest to check out for more discovery.

Conversations and recommendations about music to Love
This is a great new podcast about people, music and the industry. Even as Hollywood is shifting and the center of film changing, Nashville remains Music City! Open and engaging conversational discussions about how music impacts life and our personal history with melody, harmony, sound and rhythm.
Ben does a excellent job sampling tracks and weaving the talk through music. I found myself pausing the podcast to look up a playlist or artist and in a couple cases picking them up and listening straight through. And then coming back for more. Well done, keep up the good work.
