Sound Opinions

Podcasts

I found this podcast while searching for podcasts that Officially Rock. While I like to keep these limited to the more independent shows. Sound Opinions was so good, there was no denying that this podcast Officially Rocks. The quality of the shows, and the video interviews/performances are the best in quality. The talent levels of the guests are also unheard of, the musicians Officially Rock as well. Give this show a listen, add this podcast to your list. Next road trip you take, take Sound Opinions with you.
