“A wonderful podcast. Every episode introduces to musicians you may or may not. Makes no difference - the stories are so good you will want to know more about them if they are new to you.”

“Otis, your podcast is totally amazing. I listened to every podcast at least twice. I have never been more entertained. I would love to hear more about the economics of music. How much money did Wilco make? How much would it cost to have Kenny Vaughan play a house party. How much does a bass...”Read full review »

“God only knows how I’m just getting hip to this podcast now… I’ve been primarily listening to podcasts over tv or radio shows for a few years now, and I live in Nashville! Otis is such a great listen and he finds the most interesting guests.. I can only rate 5 stars (but this one goes to 11)”

“Smart, funny, compassionate, good politics. Otis Gibbs seeks out fascinating guests and gets the best out of them, while his own take on life, music, and everything is insightful and warm.”

“Otis Gibbs is a great listen. Gets great people and knows how to push them along without gettin' in the goddamned way. All the more impressive as he is clearly a fine storyteller himself. The story of skiffle is one of the greatest podcasts ever made.”Read full review »

However, I chanced upon these podcasts a few weeks ago and I highly recommend them to anyone with even a passing interest...”Read full review »

“Great stories filled with humor and insight. Mining the same territory as Gladwell and Rick Rubin on Broken Records, but not a bit pretentious. The best thing Otis does is stay out of the way of the storyteller. The antithesis of Marc Maron!”

“It’s like sitting around and listening to your good friends banter back and forth. Otis asks great questions, when he needs to, but mostly he let’s the natural storytelling skills of his guests take center stage.
I always have a smile on my face after listening.”

“This podcast is GREAT! I find Otis to be very connected to the music and people involved in making it. If you like to get deeper into the music, this is where to be. Also Otis just has a pleasing voice to the ear and a fantastic sence of humor. Well worth a listen for music fans.”
