Arman Naféei’s weekly interview series exploring the soundtrack of today's cultural figures and personalities in the fields of Music, Film, Art, Fashion and Lifestyle.
The ARE WE ON AIR? podcast, hosted by Arman, is an exceptional show that stands out from the rest. Arman's incredible knowledge and ability to connect with every guest through music sets him apart and makes each conversation a truly soul-nourishing experience. The guest list is also worth mentioning, as it features legendary and thoughtful individuals who live in worlds where podcasts don't even exist. This podcast has been well worth the wait, providing easy-going conversations that are insightful and always accompanied by the best music recommendations. With Arman at the helm, I can't wait to see what he does next.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is Arman's ability to get his guests to open up about their lives through music. He has a way of creating a comfortable space for them to share their experiences and perspectives in a genuine and authentic manner. The conversations flow naturally, covering various genres and times, making it a pleasure routine to listen to. Additionally, the range of guests on this show is truly impressive. From musicians to artists, each interview offers unique insights into their creative processes and journeys.
On the flip side, there isn't much to criticize about the ARE WE ON AIR? podcast. However, one possible drawback could be that some listeners may not resonate with all of the guests or find every episode equally engaging. Personal tastes vary, so there may be episodes that don't resonate as strongly as others for certain individuals. Nevertheless, this minor downside doesn't detract from the overall quality of the podcast.
In conclusion, The ARE WE ON AIR? podcast is an absolute gem in the realm of podcasts. Arman's calming voice guides listeners through captivating interviews with inspiring and iconic figures who share their personal stories through music. This show offers a beautiful blend of culture, art, music, and fantasy packaged into carefully curated episodes that leave you wanting more. If you're looking for a podcast that feeds your soul and exposes you to new music, this is a must-listen. Arman has truly created something special, and I eagerly anticipate the future episodes of this captivating podcast.
