“I was brand new to the classical guitar world last year and have now finished listening to all the episodes. This podcast with Simon is so warm, encouraging, insightful, and inspiring. I learned so much and it kept me engaged while I was away from the guitar. Thank you!”

“Pretty good but you have to skip the first ten minutes of each episode to get past the promotional material about the website and all these events that took place five years ago.
Once you get past that there are some good guests. The host's sincerity makes up for his so-so interview skills....”Read full review »
