This is consistently the BEST classical music conversation show out there. As a conductor, I was first intrigued by the open and thoughtful interviews with Mark Scatterday, Leonard Slatkin, Miguel Harth-Bedoya, etc… But now that I’ve made my way through the impressive back catalogue of episodes, I find myself most often recommending to students the episodes with Anne Midgette, Morten Lauridsen, Carol Jantsch, Gail Williams, and other diverse composers, performers, and teachers from all walks of classical music life. Can’t recommend strongly enough!

Tony’s podcast is my favorite music-related podcast out there! He hosts terrific discussions with fascinating folks willing to share a bit about their lives, experiences, and perceptions. Tony knows precisely how to bring out the best content from each interview. Highly recommend this podcast to everyone in the music industry!

Tony’s experience as a world class trumpet soloist and contemporary composer give him a unique perspective into many facets of the music world. Tony combines a sharp and inquisitive intellect and warm sense of humor to creat a interesting and relaxed conversation.

Tony is a skilled interviewer who casts a wide net for his subjects. There is something interesting for everyone here!

Thanks Tony I really enjoy these especially the Mark Gould interview. Pete Margulies Utah Symphony

World class musicians being interviewed by a master trumpeter and composer make for an interesting podcast. I really enjoy the thoughtful questions, opinions and stories from everyone involved. Mr. Plog once again demonstrates that everything he touches turns to gold. I love this informative and relevant podcast!

It’s refreshing to hear musicians talk to the making of music and thriving in a career of it. It’s real.

Thanks for donating your time by interviewing iconic names of the trumpet world, Anthony. Great show!
