What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This man is 1 of 1. Bob doesn’t chase trends. The industry may be filled with noise, but Bob cuts through with clarity and conviction. He asks the questions no one else will, and people answer him because they know he actually listens. What you get isn’t spin. It’s truth. And that’s rare.

Robert is unhappy with Handy · May 2025

The Steve Lukather interview brought me here, now I’m down the rabbit hole. Great podcast and Bob is an insightful and enjoyable host.

Ed thierry · Jan 2025

Love this podcast! A million thanks for the Frampton interview. I have been waiting a long time for that one. You always ask the best questions and not the same old questions that we always hear. I would love to hear an interview with Joe Walsh, Terry Reid, Alice Cooper and I could go on and on. Great job and thank you again.

Over the last four years this has become the absolute must listen every week. Always an interesting guest with an interesting story. Thanks Bob for your quirky yet insightful conversations.

JayV69 · May 2024

Never heard of this guy but wanted to listen to the Justin Hayward interview. I had to turn it off after 10 minutes. It sounded more like an interrogation or cross examination. At one point he asked Hayward what his financial situation was. You could tell Hayward was put off. It was VERY uncomfortable to listen to.

If you want to hear the definition of bloviate, look no further then this podcast. This guy ( who obviously believes his self importance) constantly interrupts his guests, he is the type of person who only likes to hear himself speak. This distracts and alienates listeners from what could be some potential genuine insights.
