“Wow! This is incredible. For a 43 year old “punk and hardcore” kid to find this podcast years after it started is a real treat! The interviews are incredible and I love hearing what my musical heroes have to say. Thanks for this podcast, Ray!!!”

“This is a great podcast. The interviewer is very well educated in the subject. Does his homework to make sure to ask accurate questions. The episode with Rama Mayo made me go back to all those amazing records he put out.”

“I’ve been listening to 100 Words or Less for several years now. It’s been so long hearing the show every week that Ray the host feels like a friend I’m catching up with each week rather than just the host of a show I listen to. I love the content of the interviews and the guests are varied and...”Read full review »

“I just discovered this podcast recently via Dylan Walker shouting out the episode he was on for. Needless to say, I’ve been binging episodes over the past few days while working on class work, and it’s been an absolute joy. The guests are always great, but Ray consistently finds ways to keep the...”Read full review »

He often spends way more time stumbling through forming and articulating his questions than the guest spends answering them. It’s incredibly frustrating for a...”Read full review »

The interviews done in person seem to be more intimate and focused whereas the phone interviews are often awkward at points....”Read full review »
