“For some reason when I listen to this podcast I often have trouble hearing the music and the conversations, even when my device is at full volume. Currently I'm listening to Show 371 in a decently quiet Starbucks, and I can barely hear any of the music!! So sad”Read full review »

“On the one hand, I have a lot of friends who have been on From The Top---Ibanda Ruhumbika and I were in a youth orchestra together, and a good dozen or so of the other kids in that youth orchestra have been on FTT.
