Customer Reviews
Better Than NPR... Well, Sort of...
These podcasts are a great chance to listen to some fantastic rock music for free and to hear some very non-conceited musicians talk about their music. Its a good blend of detailed musician talk and more open/loose discussion about how the songs came about. Playing pieces of old demos is a huge treat!
