“Episode on surviving the road gave such lame, everyday advice I had to make sure I was listening to a podcast called DIY Musician and not the people babbling at a dry party podcast. Seriously, drink water???? Get sleep??? Don’t be drunk all the time??? Go to Quik-Trip? Oh, if only I could get...”Read full review »

“Kevin and Chris left tough shoes to fill. The current format is leaving me wanting for something broader. Artist interviews tend to be too narrow in focus. Host opinions are fine in small doses, but what I REALLY need are tips on how to promote on social media, optimize my presence on streaming...”Read full review »

“I wish this podcast well with all the changes. I was excited about Chris’ new format idea after Keven left. Would love to see the new host try Chris’ format idea which never really took off before he left as well. I’m not sure im ready for the new host to dive into a simple interview format with...”Read full review »

“This is a must-listen show for music students who aspire to create a career in music. I’m a university music theory professor (CSUCI) and we don’t currently offer a music business class, so I supplement our curriculum with episodes from DIY Musician. I think the latest episode on mechanical...”Read full review »
