“Just stumbled across this and gave it a try. I started at Episode 46 because that’s what popped up. I have listened through episode 52 so far. Even when I think it might be boring, like Tom Russell (cowboy music), I’m totally captivated and now want to go on-line and find some of his music to...”Read full review »

“This podcast is amazing! I started listening to the episodes with songwriters I knew, but I’ve been going back and listening to everything. And learning so much. The hosts get such great insights out of their (often legendary) guests. I can’t recommend it more highly.”

“Finally caught up with your Elvis Costello fanboi interview. Loved the interview, hated your intro. It is not all about your bucket lists. Gave you an extra star because I enjoyed the Christmas Wrapping podcast, though you really need to edit interviews. Lots of rambling.”

“This three section program make a place for meaningless laughs, hard facts and thoughtful interviews. I believe they make an effort to ask new questions while pulling the life stories from the song writers. Their enthusiasm is contagious.
Thank you Scott and Paul.

“The episodes are very interesting, but they probably spend less than 5% of the show actually talking about the craft of songwriting. Maybe they should change the title of the show, or maybe they could talk more about song craft.
It’s a good show nonetheless.”

There’s a timelessness to the interviews, so an...”Read full review »
