I'm a die-hard listener (and supporter) of the I'd Hit That podcast. The host is a drummer and has really developed his interview chops over the years. He's very good about straying from the stock questions about gear, stories everyone knows, etc. He's pulled some pretty interesting stories, opinions, and anecdotes from people who have openly admitted they'd 'never talked about that before.' I also think he's hilarious, as long as the guests are willing to meet him half way on the jive-talk.

Obviously, drummers make up the majority of the guests, but he's done well to get some other names like Jeff Babko, Billy Sheehan, Tim Lefebvre, Davey Faragher, Larry Lalonde, and, recently [Invalid or Expired Link Removed].

For those who dig the style/approach, there are some definite stand-out episodes. Steve Ferrone, Aaron Sterling, Curt Bisquera, Sean Hurley, and all of the Zach Danziger appearances...

I dig that podcast a LOT too. Have you heard any of the earlier episodes? Lee Sklar, Shawn Pelton, and Hal Blaine were also stand-out interviews. I wish he still had the first 50 episodes available. Pure gold, they were.

Yeah, I’ve probably listened to 90% of them at this point. I’ve been a Patreon subscriber for a while and he’s released a bunch of the first 50 through that app.
