What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The man knows his music. You’ll laugh. You’ll smile. You’ll roll your eyes. Above all, you will learn something. I’m glad Brian chose this medium. It’s open and honest, like him. Positive vibes.

Troy Longie · Aug 2020

Oake has always had a knack for drawing in his audience with his rich banter, and robust voice. Whether on cities, or the current (radio stations) he’s always had a proper quip, or a humorous jab on what’s going on in pop culture. This podcast is so cool to hear a more raw, and real version of Oake. Uncut, uncensored and fueled with whiskey! Keep it up, Oake! -Harness-

Mr. Mindful · Dec 2019

If you love #alwayslearning about music of all genres or if you love witty and intelligent conversation with the occasional f-bomb thrown in, you will LOVE this podcast.

PepperFalls · Nov 2019

So great to hear Brian Oake again. If you’re a fan of radio in the Twin Cities you’re probably a fan of Brian Oake. This show is a chance to hear more of his thoughts about a variety of things and his specialty, music. A great blend of cool music and entertaining conversation, I can’t recommend it enough! ✌🏻
