“Just listened for the first time. Simon from Biffy Clyro. What a great chat - perfectly placed between music as life, profession and the humanity of the player and how they relate to their craft and crowd. Big recommend. Can’t wait to hear more.”

“Here’s why you’re a bad interviewer.
1. Stop talking over the guest
2. LISTEN to the guests answer.
3. Stop rushing to your next prepared question and be flexible enough to expand on the guests answer
4. The interview is not about you
5. Only interview guests you have a genuine baseline...”Read full review »

“The first episode I listened to was the Glass Animals episode and it was such a lovely listen! Lior is a great interviewer who takes a different angle to most other interviews. She asks interesting questions but does it in a gentle friendly way. The GA episode is really interesting and makes you...”Read full review »

“I’m always in awe listening to Lior have such natural and fluid conversations with so many incredible musicians! What’s refreshing is that its tone is so casual that you can tell the artists are enjoying the chat as much as we are enjoying listening to it! Really peels back the layers you...”Read full review »

“There's so many music podcasts out there, but This Must Be the Gig is the BEST blend of conversational and educational. You can really tell how much research the host does, and artists always sound so comfortable talking to her -- hence why they discuss the type of stuff you want to know as a...”Read full review »

“Look no further for your next musical obsession. Each interview is delightfully revealing, and the one thing they all have in common is Lior. She does something for real that lots of podcasters fake: She's actually listening, instead of waiting for her turn to speak.”Read full review »

“I'm a huge TMBTG fan for a few reasons. Loved the insight from Lior's Open Mike Eagle episode. Who'd have thought Open Mike Eagle, a hip hop artist from Chicago would count Brooklyn's Nerd Rock Band, They Might Be Giants, as one of his major influences! You don't' learn...”Read full review »

A great interviewer shines a light on the essence of an artist--it's a hard feat given the decorum and monotony of...”Read full review »
