Customer Reviews
Favorite podcast! But……
I wish Quest would let his guests fully answer questions and allow his cohosts to ask their own query without interrupting and side eyeing the observations that they have. The listeners are also music nerds too, and it’s hard to be all ears when this happens.
Yes, the podcast is an organic thing and yes, pure excitement about all things music and art with the best of the best cannot be contained when certain guests come on, but pleassse for the love of whipped cream, stop interrupting. PLEASE.
Other than that, I learn something new every time - a certain chord, shady business deals, how an obscure ad lib was created or what gear and instruments were used to make the best music.
Great show
Love this show and although its mainly a hip hop show i really appreciate the diversity of the guest. Although this wont get read i think Anderson.Paak would make a great guest...one drummer interviewing another.
In response to that “annoying” woman
Her name is Laiya so if you’re going to insult her, at least say her name. For the record, she’s NOT annoying, she’s just too much for you to handle and that’s ok. I’m sure there’s a support group out there for folks like you.
Now on to the podcast. This is GOLD. So much knowledge but packaged in a way that’s easily digestible. I never leave a podcast feeling like it was too long or anything like that. EVERYONE adds something special to this show and I’m blessed to have found it. Keep on keepin on!
