Customer Reviews
Sonic Talk Podcasts
A bunch of talented / kind of famous guys from England and the States with irregular other guests talk about music technology and go off on tangents. Always catch myself smiling unashameably in public at some point as I listen on my iPod. A high point in the week. Only wish I could join the live chat room - but 4pm UK time is the middle of the night here!
