Customer Reviews
Newly discovered gem!
I gotta admit, I'm not a guitar connoisseur (I do play a little) but I stumbled across this podcast and was intrigued by the worst gigs ever episode. Then, I slid into the episode where Shawn talks about getting gear stolen and I was hooked. Shawn has sort of an Ira Glass feel in his intros but the stories are SO fun to listen to. Funny, surprising, kind of sad sometimes. And about a whole world that I don't really know a lot about. I'm def looking forward to listening to the rest of them!
Love this podcast
This has quickly turned into one of my favorite podcasts. It takes a different slant on things and talks to a wide range of guitar player about different subjects. It goes beyond just the basic 'interview a top tier guitar player.' So far the episodes have been very creative and fun to listen to!
Is life getting in the way?
Becoming disappointed that the producers have not kept up with releasing a new podcast each month.
