Listen to this podcast (but you still shouldn't drink it)

UPDATE: 150 episodes in and I’m still hooked. The introductory material is just as iconic today as it was in episode one. The production value was super high then and is even higher now. There’s even sponsors!

Still comfortable. Still safe. Still just condensation.

Episode one review:

Two episodes in and I'm hooked. Amazing introductory material, closing themes, and world famous guests. The host has the kind of voice that makes you feel warm inside. Comfortable. Safe. Not at all threatening. If you happen to be a trumpet player, the content is first rate. You can learn a lot if you can get past the distraction of the super high production value.

Most inspiring podcast I have ever listened too

Ryan does an excellent job at bringing in other professionals (mostly musicians) to talk about their stories. It is amazing to hear how Ryan is learning from his colleagues and what the general listener can learn! This IS NOT a podcast for musicians, but rather a podcast for anyone who wants to learn about ways to take different life approaches. 10/10 recommend and I hope you can learn something!

Great Podcast

If you’re a musician or just a person trying to better themselves in any way this podcast is a great choice. Ryan does a great job interviewing people from all facets of the music world, documenting their experiences in their field. Though I’m a musician and teacher my favorite episodes are when he’s talking about life and self-improvement. My favorite was when he talked about its not the critic who counts. With that said, Ryan does an excellent job and you’re only going to leave encouraged and inspired to give your best after listening to his podcast. Keep it coming!
