Customer Reviews
Instant classic!
This show is going places. It has that tight-knit feel that all the best podcasts have, as well as truly likable hosts and guests. I’m definitely not the prime demographic for the show or the music but I love both. It’s also turning me onto some genres of music that I didn’t know or had ignored previously. I can honestly say this pod is making my days more enjoyable and while I’m burning days listening to the massive back catalog of episodes, I’m lowkey craving the next drop.
So good!
LOVE this podcast! Not only does it introduce me to new artists, but also helps me hear the music in new ways.
Good vibes
Always something new and fresh and keeping the beat alive!!
