Customer Reviews
Great concept
So happy to hear local artists showcased like this. I really enjoy hearing how folks create. I know all but one of the artists that have been interviewed, and learned a lot about them by listening to this podcast. Thank you! Keep up the great work.
Sounds good!!!
Full disclosure: old friend of Eric’s, so review is certainly biased. HOWEVER, this review is unsolicited. Eric did not ask me to write this. This podcast is a podcast for music nerds and overlaps with fans of Charleston’s local music scene. It doesn’t commit the mortal sin of being uninteresting to those interested in either of the overlapping subjects. It sounds good. Eric is a surprisingly natural interviewer and conversationalist. I truly enjoyed the first episode and will now shotgun the rest of them.
