A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Stumbled onto this through YT. Inspired me to listen to every RP solo album. Thank goodness I’m not missing out anymore. Really enjoyed listening to RP’s candor and color, and interviewer Matt’s facilitation.

I came upon this podcast accidentally, and am grateful that I have. I have always appreciated Robert’s ability to convey so much emotion through his voice and music, regardless of the genre or decade! It has been evident for so long that this man has a true gift, and he takes great pleasure in using it. And thankfully for us, he takes pleasure in sharing it! There is so much more of Robert’s catalog to dig deeply into- please open up the vault and share another few seasons with us! (You are missed!) PS- So looking forward to seeing you and Alison Krauss in a few weeks!

I don’t listen to many podcasts but as a huge Robert Plant fan , I figured I’d give it a try. It was so enjoyable and informative. I wish all my favorite artists did something like this. My only complaint…. It’s over 😢 Come back Robert! Please! You’ve barely scratched the surface of your catalogue. Thanks for a great show!
