Always great to listen to

Omar Crook is a great host and his interviews are informative, especially for music majors like yours truly. This needs more ratings, he should be having ads everywhere!

Claire Friday

Thanks, Omar, for this interesting, articulate interview. Never heard of Claire, but loved her! So much to say, not enough time. Loved her enthusiasm for life and her passion for work. She's even better on her Facebook page! Loved it.

Interesting people having interesting conversations!

I discovered this podcast when a guest I follow posted a link on her Facebook. I enjoyed her conversation with Omar so much it made me interested to check out more. Since then, I've been working my way through each episode. Even though I'm often not familiar with the guest, by the end of the interview I'm always intrigued to learn more about the person's work. The interviews feel more like listening to friends have a conversation, and while they are centered around the influence of music/art in their lives, they often delve into insightful discussions about social issues, relationships, religion, and more. Interesting people having interesting conversations!
