Needs better editing

This is a really good podcast concept, but PLEASE get a good editor! There’s so much that should be cut out for conciseness. Keep doing what you’re doing.

A must listen to podcast for every violin workshop.

You had me at “Imposter Syndrome”. After I discovered this podcast last month, I binge listened while working in the repair shop. After consuming every episode in about two weeks, I’m not only craving more of them episodes, but I feel so much more informed about violin and luthier topics I never really gave much thought to before… Like that guy Omobono… who knew? Thank you for creating this gem and for keeping me company in my one man violin shop.
