Customer Reviews
Favorite classical music podcast
Jeff and Carol have excellent chemistry as co -hosts, and their guests always provide interesting, topical, and entertaining conversation.
My favorite is when they ask opera guests to tell what topic/character they want to see as a new opera!
Great podcast
This is great for classical enthusiasts such as myself! Thank you!
