Best Pidcast

A wonderful podcast. Every episode introduces to musicians you may or may not. Makes no difference - the stories are so good you will want to know more about them if they are new to you.

The Real Deal

Otis,
This is what all of us music nerds and musicians love to hear. The real stories behind the musicians and music. All the details . You let the subjects talk . Superb.

Thanks for sharing your stories…GREAT STUFF!

hey Otis…I came across you a while back after hearing that you opened for Todd Snider. Love your music and your stories. You beautifully capture what the human experience is all about. Since then, whenever I’m in the car traveling around I’ll listen to your podcasts and I always learn something new about music and life…and I always ended with a smile on my face.
Keep on keeping on!
peace to you and all those you meet and talk to
eric

ps. Looking forward to seeing in the Pittsburgh area again sometime soon.
