“So great to hear the backgrounds and stories from so many different bands! Nothing better than discovering hidden gems musically and Jon Lamoreaux continues to bring these musicians on his show. Thanks for working so hard to make this happen!!”

“This podcast is a dumpster fire without any redeeming qualities. Knowledge of actual music and the music business by the host is non-existent. Skip this one folks, you’ll never get the wasted time back.”

“Thorough and interesting interviews with musicians of bands that made great music. It also delves into the human/business side; how that career changed them; hence, “the hustle”.”

If background information on producers, engineers, songwriters, session musicians, as well as the artists themselves is of interest to you, then this is...”Read full review »

“John is a sincere and enthusiastic interviewer and clearly loves the topic but … that’s not enough to get 4 or 5 stars
His research lets him down, he’ll routinely ask someone to opine on records they didn’t work on and fail to recognise titles and tracks and projects his interviewees want to...”Read full review »

The pure hatred he and his guests have for anyone who disagrees politically...”moronic idiotic villains”...is disgusting yet comical at the same time.
