Great podcast for the bass community
Jason Heath is a powerhouse of new media production for the double bass community. His website and podcasts are fantastic resources for bass players and I highly recommend his podcast!

jason and this podcast are both awsome
Great Job Jason!
It has been inspiring and validating to hear the personal and professional journeys of accomplished bassists. Just listening to the way they think about and practice their art is insightful and motivating...
