Both fun and useful content

Omo is a fun and useful podcast. I really enjoy listening to the congenial and intelligent conversation about lutherie, whether it is emotional aspects, the business, interviewing other lutherie luminaries, experts on wood, all of it. I am an amateur guitar maker (the one guy listening from Alabama- evidently/perhaps or coincidentally - that they make fun of in their audience). I think the show is very interesting and enjoyable. I appreciate all the work that it takes and the knowledgeable and thoughtful content. Keep up the good work.

Disappointed

I came to the podcast with high expectations as a violinist having been referred from the Violin Chronicles. But I can no longer sit through just aimless banter with no substance. I am not your kitchen table & privy to your inside jokes.

Needs better editing

This is a really good podcast concept, but PLEASE get a good editor! There’s so much that should be cut out for conciseness. Keep doing what you’re doing.
