    Top notch podcast and one of the best comedians around
    The Chris Hayes episode is fantastic! I’ve said it before Dean’s passion for music and culture is evident during his interviews and it’s why he’s one of my favorites. As a comedian if you haven’t seen him yet it’s a must !!! I’ve seen several comedians and he’s one of the funniest I’ve ever seen. Like a sniper he picks off the crowd with a comedic arsenal that’s genius . Dean your the best buddy ! . “Candles Lit 🤘🏻” - Jason Eugene Oregon

    Let There Be Talk
    One of the best podcast ever, the Stan Lynch interview is another absolute milestone in rock ‘n’ roll conversations, it must listen for anyone who loves Tom Petty, and the Heartbreakers and rock ‘n’ roll music

    Your goose has long been cooked Chief Brody.
  • SupremeClientele36
    A Must-Listen for Comedy and Rock Fans!
    Dean Delray’s Let There Be Talk is an absolute gem. Whether it’s his incredible handmade episodes, where he dives deep into personal stories and experiences, or his rock-focused episodes with iconic musicians, each one is a standout. His solo episodes are always raw, honest, and full of energy. Dean’s passion for what he does shines through in every conversation, making you feel like you’re right there with him. If you’re into real, unfiltered discussions and amazing guests, this podcast is a must-listen!
  • Side Dish band
    Great show
    Dean is a great source for anything Americana. I guarantee A listen to this podcast will introduce you to something cool you didn’t know anything about. 🔥
  • Richard Cockson
    He’s lost the plot
    No consistency. He drops episodes whenever he feels like it, kinda sorta occasionally slides into conspiracy psycho talk and no longer has interesting guests on. These days most episodes are rambling solo bits where he shows how little he knows about music. Thumbs down
  • ChrisDionne
    The talk is there
    Great great pod about the albums of the year
  • dean delray

  • Aronem
    Dean is that gem of a human
    No one is more authentic than Dean. This man has passion for people and life. Stumbling upon his podcasts years ago was like meeting a good friend. He’s not always the most polished host, but there is always something to love about his shows. He connects with people like few in the business. For music and art lovers, he’s a magical dude.
  • DJ Moist
    Killer Podcast!!
    Dean‘s genuine love & enthusiasm for music cannot be denied. This a great pod!
  • e44a
    Dean Delray has the best podcast on the planet
    Long time listener. Since the beginning. Look back at who this guy has interviewed over the years! If you are a music or comedy fan like me, there is nobody out there who has interviewed so many in the field of music and comedy. Dean always asks the right questions during the interview. To me he is one of the best interviewers and podcast hosts of all time. Always funny and authentic, he deserves more praise for the content he delivers. My friend, you have found your calling. Keep the candles lit!

    When Dean talks music with any pro, the conversation sounds like two people that’s know each other for years. He just has that way with people. I love it !

    Dean ROCKS!!!🤘😝🤘
    Ep 771 was another great dive into Dean’s world. Dean never fails to deliver a humorous, interesting and totally entertaining take on music, art, architecture, fashion and more. Definitely check out his podcast and if you get a chance to catch him live, DO IT!!! You will be laughing start to finish. I just love his style of humor and perplexed takes on the weirdness of the world around him. ✌️😎 🕯️🕯️🕯️

  • unhappynester69
    Great Podcast
    Dean is super relatable, hilarious, and has a great point of view The guests are from all over the map and Dean always does a great job interviewing because you can tell he’s genuinely interested in what they do. Solo episodes are just as good and cover a lot shared interests (comedy, movies, music, cars, architecture, watches, etc). Keep it up, Dean!

    Dean is without a doubt a music fiend. He’s turned me onto several great bands and listening to him discuss music/bands or interview musicians is always enjoyable.

  • cmurduh
    Meh
    Used to be a good show. Now Dean just talks over people and tries to finish everyone’s sentences.
  • Mr hostetter
    Nah......
    Took him a while but he finally sold out. Shilling poser three hundred dollar jeans and flannels is just flat out disgusting. All L.A. Podcasters eventually turn out to be spam....
  • Buster boy 11
    Great!
    Dean is great, makes me laugh at least once per episode and I really look forward to that. It feels like he’s one of my old buddies. Cool interviews but the solo episodes are nice too. D.B.
  • von Shredder
    Thank you Dean…
    I discovered Dean from the Metallica, Metal up your Podcasts, they recommended the John Mayer and Kirk Hammet episodes. Amazing interviews! Dean delivers in these long form convos with genuine interest and a gracious demeanor. His infectious zest for all things musical and artistic has peaked my interest in watches, leather and comedy. Thank you Dean for all that you do. Keep ‘em lit!! Chris von Shredder
  • No reason given

  • Chris W. Santa Rosa
    Podcast gold
    Dean is a great guy and a fantastic comedian with a golden podcast. I’m very close in age with him and have so many similar tastes. I love every episode of this podcast. Discovered him at the Comedy Store the day before the Covid shutdown. He had me laughing nonstop. Saw him here in Santa Rosa last year, and opening up for Bill Burr. Always funny. Check him out if you get a chance, he doesn’t disappoint. Keep on rocking my friend.
  • BenInBrooklyn
    Makes me laugh and brings me back
    Love Dean’s podcast. Sure, makes me laugh. But tells great stories about music and pop culture that sometimes brings me back. Discovered Dean’s comedy through his podcast and now I’m a big fan.
  • philly_john
    Great Rock n roll podcast
    Dean has been in music industry for 25 years and has so many great stories and RnR friends he’s met along the way. Too many great episodes with great musicians over every genre from John Mayer to Jakob Dylan to Les Claypool.

  • Smittyman1970ms
    The real Dean,the real Truth of the matter..
    I myself came upon Delray with the Dark Fonzie thing years ago. Then proceeded into his own personal podcast episodes. I’ve enjoyed everything about Dean and what he does and represents himself as and does. Thank you for everything Dean Delray. You rock my friend.
  • Mike Ness’s Guitar Pick
    Whats so great about Dean Delray Let There Be Talk?
    I first discovered Dean listening to Dark Fonzie when he co-hosted “Dark Fonzie” with Marc Maron. If you’re on the hunt for a podcast that effortlessly combines humor, insights, and 70’s, 80’s and 90’s nostalgia, look no further than “Let There Be Talk.” I love pop culture especially the 70’s 80’s and 90’s. I love hearing references to things I've completely forgot about. Its comforting and brings back great memories of a better time. The guests he has are a combination of music, fashion and pop culture. Even if I don’t know who the guest is, I have learned to listen because literally every guest he has has a nugget of something cool that has expanded my music, movie, fashion or guitar collection. Ive gone back and listened to albums Ive forgotten about. Whats so great about Dean Delray’s Let There Be Talk? Listen to the show and you will find out.
  • Old Crusty Exterminator
    Love the Show
    Recently flew down from Bozeman to see Burr in Salt Lake, and Dean’s opener killed. Looked up Dean’s pod the next day and the weekly pods are must listen to shows. His understanding of arts and human intellect is most excellent. Keep tickling my earholes.
  • EricWestenberger
    5 star podcast
    Love the show, been listening for about three years. Dean has a lot of passions he talks about on the show but his love of music is what I always related to. I enjoy listening while I work as a route driver delivering cakes and bread's to grocery stores. Keep up the great work Dean.

  • PVHS '85
    A Solid Every Man
    Dean has the guests and asks the questions that WE want to hear. The Bon Scott Tribute Is A Testament to the authenticity of Dean’s well earned label of ROCKER. Tried and true, real deal. A been there, done that Bay Area Musician. Keep it up Dean.
