Excellent

Just a knowledgable guy playing great classical guitar recordings. This is a pretty good model for music podcasts. I’ll listen to every episode multiple times both for enjoyment and education.

Live this!

Live this show. As a former guitarist, love hearing the history of the instrument and this is well thought out!
