Will is enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable about music history. Hubby and I learn so much from these podcasts and we can’t wait for Monday to roll around to listen to the next one. We’ve been a fan of Will for such a long time!!!

Loved the episode on Fleetwood Mac! It was really cool learning so much more about all the drama behind the band, but also didn’t know how much happened with Silver Spring before it was finally released!
