“Fantastic podcast for music fans. It’s great to hear the perspectives of so many drummers who are integral to some amazing music yet you rarely hear their voices. It spans many decades and genres: pop, rock, punk, funk, mainstream and alternative. And they talk about everything. Host Joe Wong...”Read full review »

“The host does a great job asking interesting questions; great at making guests comfortable. I really wish they would use some compressors and coach the guests about talking directly into the mic. Or get better mics. When they speak loudly, you have to turn the podcast down, but then you can’t...”Read full review »

“Wong's show is good and worth checking into time and again. He has improved a lot as an interviewer and has a pleasant voice. Way better than the Sound Opinions of the world, as it is far deeper and long form, not as good as Protonic Reversal. Too bad about the shift away from being about the...”Read full review »

Ian repeatedly has to correct the questions this guy was asking because he didn’t let him talk. I did enjoy the podcast but the session stutters...”Read full review »
