“I am a amateur trombone player, I am 64, so my best playing days are still ahead. I enjoy your podcast, the stories, some of the advice, which I would like to hear more of, I would like to hear from some of the minority trombonist such as Wycliffe Gordon who is one of my favorites, along with...”Read full review »

“And I’m considering becoming a patron just to get more....
I might be sick.
Don’t start listening unless you want to subject yourself to laughter, knowledge and general low brass jackassery.
If you go beyond this point...there is no turning back.”

“I know why the Mary Pappert School of Music has to buy ad space every episode. Without it these guys would be stealing their students. Jokes and stories that’ll make you laugh and trumpet players scowl.”

“Love hearing the guest interviews but wish the hosts didn’t talk about themselves and tell they’re own stories so much. I’m mainly listening in for the guests and there stories, not the stories from the hosts that take away from the interview and the guest.”

“Started off cherry-picking the trumpet episodes as that’s what I thought I wanted to hear but now begrudgingly realising that mostly the non-trumpeters are more interesting and funnier, which is crucial when going out on socially distant runs. Get involved! Oh and get some Brits on!”
