      You only say that because you’re accustomed to the boring, badly edited, poorly-produced podcasts that are such standard fare in the music production world.

      Listen to this one all the way through, and there is a 97.89% chance that your mind will be changed. Not an ounce of fat on it, I promise. It’s a great listen, and I stand by it. Now give it an honest try!

    Love the podcasts – is there any way to subscribe to them so I can download them automagically? Wish they were in iTunes…
