Customer Reviews
A Solidly Produced Program
Even the Atlanta metro area (oddly enough) has no stations that carry the full version of this program. But the podcast is solid and usually quite inspirational and thoughtful. Sometimes they nearly do give you the full hour. Highly recommended for those of us with short attention spans.
The stuff will round out your dinner conversations
If you're not naturally interesting, this show offers enough conversation fodder to keep you on the B or possibly A-list of socalite dinner parties. There's enough generalizing to make this enjoyable and to help you keep your bits brief, but Kurt also pulls from sources enough to make you feel like you've nibbled on substance. Usually the material will be something you've heard of tangentially and so it gives you updates on the familiar. Bravo. Very enjoyable.
i heart 360
listening to studio 360 is one of the highlights of my week. i listen in my kitchen, in my car...sometimes i take the long way to work just to hear what's next. 360 is not trying to be hip (thank goodness) or over the top. it is smart, funny, intriguing and i can't stop listening.
