I am a Jesse Jackson fan. He loves to talk music, Dallas Cowboys football, Doctor Who, and much, much more. This is his super passion, Bruce Springsteen. Give it a listen. He’s great.

Jesse is the man! He loves to speak with and meet new Springsteen fans, and he genuinely takes an interest in the stories we all have to share. I've had the honor of meeting him (before a Springsteen concert!) and have been lucky to have joined him on Set Lusting Bruce on a few occasions....Read full review »

When it comes to artist-centric podcasts, they can be hit or miss for someone who doesn't know every last song or story surrounding said artist. Jesse solves that problem with Set Lusting Bruce, as the show is aimed for Bruce fans of all levels: from the novice to the hardcore fan, he has...Read full review »

Jesse is a terrific interviewer and these episodes seem to go by so fast. There are not many artists who have this kind of longevity so hearing stories of the impact one artist can have on so many is fun, interesting and entertaining. Keep it up Jesse.

There aren’t a lot of casual Bruce Springsteen fans out there. A lot of his fans feel a deep connection with his music and his live shows.

This show is about a lot more than Bruce... though it centers around the man and his music. I thoroughly enjoyed my interview with the host, who made it a chat of joyful exploration. With his easy style and creative approach, he brings out stories no one has asked about before.

Decemberband via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/21/22
Recently listened to the ep with Mitch. Loved the stories he told and the insightful “rumors” about future Bruce and E Street but keep politics out..Him and Jesse say don’t be negative, but “oh, be negative about trump and other people”. So hypocritical. They preach Freedom of Speech but yet when...Read full review »

The driving force behind successful podcasts is passion, and you can hear in Jesse Jackson’s voice just how passionate he is about music, and Bruce’s music specifically. If you’re a music lover as Jesse is, you definitely want to add Set Lusting Bruce to your podcast playlist.
