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.
This is one of the best music interview podcasts out right now. Joel has a gift for making artists feel comfortable, which leads to real, authentic conversations you won’t hear anywhere else. Every episode feels personal, inspiring, and fun—like you’re sitting in on a chat between friends. Whether you’re a die-hard music fan or just love good stories, this show is a must-listen.
I always look forward to hearing these episodes especially when it’s some of my favorite artists! Joel is so welcoming to them and talks them like they are dear friends. I love the outlook he has on everything some of what he says really has helped me look at things in a different perspective and I want to thank him for that!!! Keep it up💙💙
I need to hang with the twins some time. I think they’d dig my music and Joel’s point of view on things is inspirational.
Hi Joel-
This is Heidi, Max Lagunas’ ex girlfriend. Just wanted to say hi, and love the podcast. I think about you and Benj a lot from the early 2000’s, I still miss Max every single day. I’m so happy that you two are doing so well. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
