  • Good shows, annoying setup

    Great shows, but I wish each show was published as a separate podcast so I can get the shows I want without having to get the rest with it.

  • Good Stuff!

    Both of these shows are really good with lots of music. Conducting Conversations has interviews with many different artists & groups and plays the music from their current project. My Music is pure classical and is pieces by artists you may have never heard of but are glad you finally do when once you get a listen. If you live in New England these peograms will mean a little more since they are Rhode Island based but they are deffinately worth a listen for anyone!
