Banjo Studio says:
Host Jonathan Freilich talks with 5 string banjoist Rob McCoury of the Del McCoury Band and the Travelin' McCourys. Jonathan talks with Rob about what he is currently working on, how he is getting on during the Covid lockdown, what it was like growing up around the music of his father Del McCoury, and who his influences are.
Rob McCoury
Had the opportunity to interview acoustic guitar wizard, Chris Eldridge. I think this one will be interesting to many people with many different interests. If you don’t know his work you will find a new lane to check out. If you like the sound of steel string guitar, his playing draws out all the iconic color of the instrument.
The Banjo Studio interviews have really been intriguing to be involved with and this one is right at the top end of what is becoming a great archive of interviews.

Chris "Critter" Eldridge is a master of the dreadnought guitar and is the guitarist & sings with Punch Brothers, Live From Here, Julian Lage, and more. This is a great interview and host Jonathan Freilich talks with Chris about compositional form of the Punch Brothers tunes, Chris' training with legendary guitarist Tony Rice, how to get the best live sound and recorded sound for an acoustic guitar, and more!
This time, on the Double MacGuffin podcast, we talk about ‘The Tree of Wooden Clogs’(Olmi,1978) and ‘The Last Mistress’ (Breillat, 2007). These are two excellent, fascinating, and unusual films that will really get you away from the pandemic and saturation in corona journalism.

I spoke with master 5 string banjoist and Compass Records founder Allison Brown.
Banjo Studio says:
In this interview we talk with Allison about the development of the Deering Julia Belle banjo, how she made the jump from the business world to becoming a full time professional musician, how she balances being an artist and CFO of a successful record company, and much more.
Grant Morris, the host invited me back for one of the quarantine zoom episodes. Entertaining show with quick conversation fun and games from an interesting crew- music, sex therapy etc.
