Equally Enjoyable and Frustrating
First, let me just say that Blake (the host) seems like a really nice guy. I'm glad he's providing a forum for guitar gear makers to share their stories, which are often very interesting, and the sound quality is excellent. However, he could use a lot of work in terms of being a host based on the three four episodes I've listened to. Blake tends to ask the same questions to all of his guests (including "What is your favorite kind of pizza?", which honestly no one cares about) as if he's reading them off of a template. Thankfully, he often asks questions submitted by the ToneMob.com Facebook group which tend to be more interesting than his own. I wish he would take more time in advance of each episode to specifically tailor questions to the guest in question. Also, Blake's banter almost never moves the conversation forward. Usually if he has something to say after the guest answers his question, the guest often awkwardly reponds with, "Yeah". One of his stock responses tends to be something along the lines of, "Yeah, you're not just putting out another tube screamer". Like I said before, major kudos to Blake for doing this podcast. I just wish he would spend more time developing his question content, conversation skills, and confidence as a podcast host.Read full review »

I've been a consistent listener since the early days of the podcast. Blake has really come into his own as an interviewer as the show has progressed. The repeated guests are always a blast also. As long as it keeps getting published, I'll keep listening. Also, Patreon content is A+ also....Read full review »

A solid, down to earth podcast that’s relatable and covers the gamut of the artists, gear, and pizza.
