Haven’t heard anything in over a year. It’s a shame since it was highly entertaining.

There must be some more out there to release.

Legendary Acts

Not going to lie, I don’t think the interview questions are always great, but so many legends being interviewed.

Great Interviews

Thanks for giving us an inside look at many rock legends

Great Snapshots of Artists in Time!

The Tapes Archive is a great collection of exclusive audio interviews. Perfect for podcasting, the show provides insightful looks back at musicians and comedians and where they were at a particular time. Marc Allan is a well-known (in Indiana) concert critic, and the show gives you a great look at how he developed his interview techniques over the years. I highly recommend the George Carlin and Neil Peart episodes.

Intimate music interviews

This podcast is a real gem in the music interview category. Get ready to jump into a time machine and eavesdrop into fascinating conversations. Keep them coming. Full discourse, I may be a bit biased. 😀

Fantastic Podcast

These are never-before-heard interviews of musicians and comedians conducted in the late eighties/early nineties by the interviewer for use in writing articles. Although the sound quality is a bit low at first, you quickly forget about that and become immersed in the fascinating conversations. I love this podcast and I can’t wait to hear everything else that lurks in this vault!

Amazing Podcast

A fantastic look into the realities of being a working musician. Also the Trey Anastasio episode gave a look at the inner workings of the band on the cusp of major professional success
