  • Let the artist speak

    Host talks WAY TOO MUCH! I tune into these to hear from the artists but I end up having to suffer through Joel talk about his experiences. Ask questions to the artists, let them speak and then move on to the next.

  • Awesome show

    You should probably remove your episode with Bob Vylan for him mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination. He is sick and it’s a bad reflection on you as a kind person.
