That Marlena Shaw cover… WHOO🔥🔥🔥🔥

Another great episode overall!

Can't like this enough. 3rd time watch through. Wish it was longer and more in depth. INCREDIBLE guests and format.

Need Nate to talk more about those "four fills" he has "built a career on"

[yardmanAD]

Nate has got all the illest artists on this series. Melanie Charles - The Girl with the green shoes is so crazy. That whole joint makes me feel hope and dope and emotional

[yehoshua]

I said what?! It’s over?! Awesome collaboration. Thank you.

I am content consumer and the format Melanie described is exactly what I want. Take it to the street, the park, the block party. Make it fun for the whole family to enjoy. Organize with the local business community in hipster cities near major airports who want to support the whole circus who can unpack, rest a bit, plop up a tent at a park, and boost local economies. The people want to dance, they’re just afraid. Let local leaders decide on how to award and encourage the best dance moves so they can claim credit when their city is recognized as cool. Encourage wealthy intellectuals to form and fund a network of community bands who can provide some gear and host a benefit gala/hodown for a good cause that matters to the community.

Magnificent episode. Such good music and conversation. What was said about people being asleep at the jazz concert: as an audience member, I will get out of it what I put into it. The more I engage, the more I enjoy it. That goes for every style and genre of music, but jazz and classical are the worst about not encouraging a little more audience engagement.

Make the album

[incubotic]

This is 🔥! I'll take a whole album of this please.

[JohnDoe-hmmp]

what a beautiful, wide range of dynamics. heart warming and crisp - love it!

[jonashellborg]

Another amazing guest, an so cool to watch someone using their voice just as any instrument. It sounded full and great with just song and drums. I will definitely have a listen to Melanie! Cheers Nate!

[Drum_Log]

Severely underrated video- kept my attention the whole video! This needs to be higher on the algorithm

[ianshaw]

Sometimes when she goes certain places for a moment it’s like I’m hearing Nina, then she says hello and comes back to Melanie.

[rando_prime]

Both of your thoughts on business literacy in the music industry are invaluable. I bet your audience would love to hear either of you expand on that topic a bit more. I'm sure the podcast is amazing. Wonderful episode, thank you.

[Keychain-]

Beautiful, talented, funny and chock full of personality on and off the stage. Awesome episode, incredible music!

[Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]
