Great podcast!

Love the intro music and the host, Big Rick, has a great podcasting voice! The concept of this podcast is also great. A podcast about rock and roll books, documentaries, and movies, wasn’t on my list of topics to look seek out. However, now I am glad I found it!

Insightful Reviews, Great Concept!

Found Rock Talk Studio a few months ago. Tore through the library and eagerly await the next installment. Love the structure of the show and have been making a list of books and documentaries I want to check out and have been methodically knocking them down one by one. Love Rick’s insights and energy! More episodes, please!
