Some Mates Having A Chat About Music... info: awlpodcast@gmail.com @BARNEYARTIST @jordan-rakei @AlfaMist @TomMisch
Listeners of Are We Live Podcast that love the show mention: highly recommended, music, fantastic.
The Are We Live Podcast is an absolute gem in the podcasting world. From the moment I discovered it, I was filled with excitement and anticipation for each new episode. This podcast truly came at the perfect time, during quarantine when we all needed a little extra entertainment and laughter in our lives. The fact that they have a Patreon option for just a fiver (or whatever the conversion rate may be) is well worth it because this podcast delivers so much value and laughs.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is how genuine and down-to-earth the hosts are. It lacks the pretense that can often be found in similar podcasts, allowing for honest conversations and interesting insights into the music industry. The hosts, Jordan, Alfa, Barney, and J. Rakei, are not only incredibly talented musicians but also fantastic storytellers. Their chemistry is undeniable, making each episode feel like you're just chilling with some friends chatting about music and cracking jokes. The knowledge they share about music history and their virtual crate digging sessions for hidden gems is unparalleled.
On the downside, it can be frustrating to realize how much great music has been overlooked or missed out on prior to listening to this podcast. The hosts have such incredible taste in music and their recommendations are always on point, introducing listeners to songs and artists they may have never discovered otherwise. While this is definitely a positive aspect of the podcast, it can leave one feeling overwhelmed with all the amazing music they now feel compelled to explore.
In conclusion, The Are We Live Podcast is a must-listen for any music enthusiast out there. It transcends its genre competitors with its fervent exchange of musical knowledge and passion for all things related to music. Whether you're already familiar with artists like Tom Misch or new to their world entirely, this podcast will expand your horizons and open your ears to some of the best music out there. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Much love and thanks to the hosts for creating such a fantastic podcast.
