Review of The Dr Funk Podcast - It's great....but..

It's great....but..

☆

“I do love the podcast to a certain degree, mostly because I love Prince and though I'll never doubt the love and sincerity of the host, Dr. Funkenberry, I do have to be perhaps the one dissenting voice here. Man! By the end of the shows, I'm sometimes feeling depressed!! Not because of the loss of Prince, but the sadness in Funkenberry's voice and the ho hum style of interviewing and/or speaking.. I say this with the utmost respect but it's like dang!! I know we all have different ways of grieving. I cried when Prince left this earth. It was a painful loss but thru his immense gift and blessing for the life/journey that he lived? Wow.. there's no way I can sit around in sadness.. Instead I celebrate the life he lived and stay constantly inspired by the music he left behind. I have a cousin who is also a huge Prince fan and he did the opposite of myself. He stopped listening to the music completely. He couldn't take hearing Prince's voice. I was like, WHY!?!?! He only as of this week began slowly listening to Prince again. For me, I never stopped and have listened every day without fail since his passing or perhaps transcendence.. Anyway, going back to the show, I listened to the latest show featuring the engineer. I'm so very happy that he was a very talkative gentleman with a lot of stories but I think again with all due respect, Dr. Funkenberry missed out on so many opportunities to interject, to probe for not only deeper stories but also more insight into recording processes and the whole behind the scenes music making fun/vibe that we know Prince must've had and bestowed on others lucky enough to be apart of the musical journey. Nobody comes close to his prolific-ness, if I may say it that way and no one ever will. Also, the responses in this particular show from Funkenberry were always like "uh huh.. right.. yea..uh huh" or the usual sayings (ie. don't believe in coincidence, etc). Interviewing skills need work.. Forgive me for the criticisms and a little bit of venting but with so much insight into Prince, this show should be out of this world incredible and a constant celebration of the most gifted musical artist to ever grace this planet.. From beginning until now, his music/career is the equivalent of several lifetimes lived and it will last forever... I feel blessed to be old enough to have been a fan since day one when the first album dropped and showed up in my father's record store. God bless Prince. Peace & Be Wild.. :-)”

“I had no clue that there was this much info about Prince, out in the world. I recently subscribed and crammed and listen to all of your eps. You’re doing a very good job with your insight and taking us behind the curtain...”
