I absolutely love listening to these from Powder. Like all mags, I think Powder is evolving and this is probably my favorite way it's been happening. While I get that immediate gratification from my laptop or iphone, I don't have to feel too guilty; it's a genuine, in-depth look at something that really matters, at least to me anyways. These guys and gals do a great a job - keep up the good work!
