Moods & Modes

I’ve listened to many episodes of the podcast, but I am compelled to leave a review after hearing the Mohini Dey episode. I had no idea who she is before this but the interview with Alex was so genuine, comprehensive and compelling, that I immediately wanted to get to know her music. And I feel like I was starting the journey of discovery from a great place of familiarity because of the interview. Bravo Alex, and please more of these episodes!

Great content, but doesn’t let the person he’s interviewing speak without cutting in. Have confidence in the subject, let it flow.

Alex, At one point I considered leaving a 2-3 star rating for the interruptive format… However, I warmed up with the help of your addressing the subject in P2. Overall, the content is rich, and the contexts & samples really help once one gets used to the pausing. I’m sure future shows will only flow better as you evolve & streamline for continuity. You mention Tim Ferris’s podcast, a favorite of mine and a high standard format. We need more like his in the music zone! So keep at it and bring Pat back in the future! 👍joe h

I’m a big Alex Skolnick fan and have been for years, so I was excited to hear that he was producing a podcast. I think it is really well done and his subject matter is always entertaining. The only complaint I have is that he kills the flow of each episode by breaking into what he calls “housekeeping”, where he changes the subject completely to mention tour dates or current events, etc., before picking up where he left off with the subject. I just wish he would do all of this at the beginning like most other people do.
