  • Amazing interviewer

    I listened to the conversation Matt had with Tony Levin. It was wonderful hearing Matt pick his brain about his experience with Peter Gabrielle and Liquid Tension Experience. Keep up the good work! Cheers!

  • Proper conversation without controversy

    Matt is a consummate host who clearly does his homework ahead of interviewing guests. The conversations are revealing without relying on gimmicks or shock tactics.

    It’s also great to hear from people who aren’t just on the usual press circuit, but still deserve to have light thrown on their new projects.

    Even those without anything special to plug, Matt clearly selects people he admires and respects, and genuinely wants to learn about their creative process.

    Highlight of the series so far, Chris Hillman, but as a lifelong Byrds fan, tha... more
