Customer Reviews
Essential, fun and surprising listening for songwriters
This is by far my favorite podcast on songwriting! (And definitely the only one recorded analog)
Taylor, Carl and Paul make these artists very comfortable, and wonderful performances and conversations ensue. The sheer variety of musicians in NYC make up an endless revolving cast that I am always excited to listen to. The hosts also make great music on their own, which counts for a lot in a scenario like this. I love the concept of artists playing their first, last, best and worst songs, they almost always have to pull out tunes that don’t make the nightly setlist, and I love hearing songwriters revisit things they haven’t played, or even thought of, in a while. I’ll keep listening as long as you keep posting, keep up the great work guys!
These are fun
To both LISTEN to AND hear...
Love the Concept
Super fun concept, the hosts are really funny and the artists are well mixed. 100% recommended!
