Customer Reviews
Amazing
This podcast has quickly become apart of my weekly routine. I look forward to a new episode each week and am never disappointed. I love how raw the conversations are and how Joel let’s everything flow organically. I’ve discovered so many new artists and learned more about artists who's names I’ve been hearing for years. Having grown up with Good Charlotte’s music when I was a kid, I feel like I’m hanging out with an old friend every week. I can’t wait to see what Joel continues to do with his platform and have nothing but respect and praise for all the hard work that goes into, not only this podcast, but successfully running a business while simultaneously being so present in his family. It’s inspiring, insightful and straight up awesome! Go listen to Artist Friendly! You won’t regret it! 🤘🏼
Refreshingly genuine
Just finished the latest episode with Noah & I now love this podcast. I really appreciated the flow of conversation & found myself totally immersed. For me, introspection & self awareness is so important & I love hearing it on this podcast. Being able to listen to others speak their truth in an honest, open, and reflective way is a nice change from the day to day small talk. 100/10, would recommend.
Great Podcast
What a refreshing, genuine podcast. I initially gave this a try because Good Charlotte was a major part of my life growing up, and the premise of the podcast seemed interesting. Doesn’t disappoint. Joel is a great interviewer. He really lets the artists speak while somehow still offering opinions and insights here and there. This is not a “plug my newest album” interview. You’re really getting to know them. If you want to be inspired, listen!!!
