I always feel so daunted by classical music, like there’s an exam I didn’t prepare for. This podcast flips the script and makes classical music accessible and fun. It’s like having that music-loving friend go through their cd collection and hand you some hits. Not everything hits home, but every once in a while, I find a gem. I also appreciate how modern tracks are showcased, helping to paint a fuller picture of the special guest. Regarding the guests, I never know who they are… but because Jess always engages with them so positively, I assume they are cool humans too. All in all, this podcast puts me in a good mood and broadens my horizons. I recommend it for anyone who wants to dip their toe into the classical genre.

Love this show! I’ve been binging old episodes since I discovered it. My only “complaint” is that every time I listen I end up spending more money on iTunes

I’m so glad to have discovered this show! Not only does it brings hope amidst all the craziness happening in the world, it also helps me discover more beautiful music and musicians that spark the many emotions that were forgotten/suppressed by all the noises. Thank you! May I suggest music from Studio Ghibli’s movies? My favorites are: - A clear day” from “Kiki’s delivery service” - A path of the Wind from “My neighbor Totoro” - One Summer’s Day from Spirited Away Although these are children’s movies, the use of classical music sets them further apart from the typical over-commercialized “Disney” and “Hollywood” movies. Have a wonderful holiday, and I look forward to listening to the next episode. 💙💙💙 Hong from Brooklyn, NY

I really enjoy your show and the the music and the guests you interview. Thank you

Love the idea of this, but not one episode was available to listen to!
