Customer Reviews
give us more
Raw, fun and delightful. Step into the reality and realm of Val Emmich where he talks to his friends. We listen in on their humorous mindless banter of random and various subjects - memories from growing up to being on tour, inside jokes and behind the scenes talk of in the studio. Conversations are flamboyant. This podcast gives you a real glimpse of the man behind the dimples.
Keep them coming!
A cross between radio show and intimate conversations, Val Emmich's podcast offers an insight on what happens on the other side. Discussions range from entertainment (such as books or tv shows), work (talking about his latest endeavors being in music, film, or writing), and reminiscing about the past. Never a dull moment, and lots of occasions where Val and his guests provoke or provide a good laugh to the listener, allowing one to feel as though you're part of the witty ensemble, and not merely a third party bystander. The podcast proves that Val Emmich isn't only a multi-talented individual, but even a pretty compelling and humorous speaker. Tune in, you won't regret it.
How fun!
A great way to learn more about Val and those who impact and influence him. His podcasts combine his music, thoughts on current events, questions by fans and spontaneous banter. It's great to hear about his struggles and successes as a musician and to see him as a three dimensional human being and not just a voice on a CD or standing on a stage. I can't wait for more!
