Customer Reviews
Goo Goo Ga Ga
I didn't realize Will Amos was the host, I thought Jason was doing a forced third person thing and I am real dumb. The podcast is informative and the guests are great. :)
Yeaaah
I detest “hero worship”, but if there was ever a living man deserving of such, Jason’s the dooood. Good wk and great listen so far.
Excellent Podcast Through The Eyes Of Artists
This is a well done insight into both the professional & personal world of the great Jason Lytle. Episode 1’s Band of Horses guest has interesting stories about his relationship with the music and with the person that is Grandaddy. Still, the stories of recording & touring transcend just one artist, but is an cool take on the business of “Indie” music. Good stuff.
The podcast is well produced & paced perfectly. A good view into the music business through an exceptional artist.
