bob simpson ,

Excellent podcast

Tom is a great host! Very insightful and inspiring hearing these interviews from some great songwriters. Definitely my favorite podcast to listen to when I’m winding down.

BPounds1989 ,

This is the best review.

I gave this podcast 5 stars because Apple will not let me rate my own review. It’s so refreshing to see a reviewer who puts the time into listening to the podcast and thoughtfully responding. I was delighted to discover that I carefully listened to every segment of the podcast and thought of my own questions and responses I would have asked. You can’t ask much more from a listener.

I get 5 stars.

Bsuth301 ,

Been waiting for this.

Great pod, wonderful host, lovely guest. Poignant questions and open hearted responses. It’s nice to hear interviewers who let their guests speak without interruption. Subscribed and ready for more!
