    A must-listen for music lovers
    Peer Pleasure Podcast is a masterpiece for anyone who loves music and storytelling. The host has an incredible talent for connecting with bands on a personal level, making each episode feel like an intimate conversation rather than just an interview. I am captivated by how thoughtful and in-depth the discussions are—offering fresh perspectives and anecdotes that I’d never heard before. This podcast stands out because of its ability to go beyond the music and explore the humanity behind the art. A must-listen for fans of music and meaningful dialogue! Also thanks for interviewing Johnny from the blood brothers! Not many podcasts out there with him as a guest!

    One of the best podcasts out there!
    Absolutely hooked! Especially the Chino and Delonge episodes got me into Dewey’s podcast. Love the guests and conversations, made my daily commute a lot more fun. Plus Dewey is a super friendly dude to chat with and he doesn’t mind to reach out listener comments. Do yourself a favor and listen to this podcast!
  • Discography Discussion
    So much more substance than a standard interview.
    Dewey is a fantastic interviewer and is great at making his guests feel comfortable which makes for more open and honest conversation. You can listen to 3 interviews on 3 different shows with the same guest and yet you always get a unique experience/conversation on Peer Pleasure. The conversations always have meat to them. Highly recommend!

    More than just an interview
    One of the best podcasts out there. In depth interviews with some of your favorite artists and composers. I’ve been listening to Dewey for the past 3 years or longer. His interviews are not just the music it’s about the person and the conversations get deep and so much more then you could expect. The unseen corners of these conversations are just the bread and butter of what makes this podcast so special. Just hit that subscribe button and enjoy the journey!

    I’m pretty sure a guest drew that parallel on a recent episode, but Dewey’s conversation style is very genuine, and for the most part his guests really appreciate that. I always find something to relate to and remind myself that despite the noise of modern society, a sense of humanity is still very much present in all of us. I look forward to the podcast every week - its a highlight.

    This guy is a legit moron
    He’s a decent interviewer but the guy is clearly delusional when it comes to anything outside of music. I’m talking straight up spouting propaganda and spewing fake news like he’s Alex Jones Jr. I’m shocked he can be this stupid and still get these musicians to zoom with him.
  • W0LFDAD
    WOW!!!
    This podcast is amazing!!! I’m late to the game, but man, the lineup of artists that are interviewed is so outstanding!!! If you’re into GOOD music, then your band or favorite singer, guitarist, or whatever, is definitely on here!!! I’m gonna be binging this for a while to get caught up! Super super podcast!!!! Now go rate and review!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  • Kitesvera
    One of my favorites!
    This is one of my favorite podcast to listen to. Dewey is a great host and its a conversation instead of the normal interview question and answer style. Im always blown away by where these interviews go! Favorite Eps Chino Moreno, Frank Maddocks, Eva Gardener and so many more. Much love from Aaron in VA.

    The only podcast I need
    That fact that you guys regularly have interviews with people that hold a special place in my heart is almost unbelievable. This is the best show. That’s why I keep coming back for more. Thank you guys for doing what you do. What you all are doing is meaningful. It’s impactful. It’s important.
  • the andy special
    A rare breath of fresh air.
    Dewey interviews from the heart and allows the artists to move past their product and into the realm of their being. This is an amazing podcast for those who like to learn about a person existing. Every episode is worth a listen.

    This show just might be the greatest podcast out there! I love everything about it and it keeps getting better. Keep it up!
  • Jatchison25
    Essential
    This has become a weekly listen, no matter who the guest is. Dewey has a very relaxed, and genuine format, and the show is less an interview but a conversation.
  • CMonty661
    It’s ok
    Interviewer doesn’t really do it for me. Every like 20 podcasts there will be an alright one.
  • Jonathan Toth

    New favorite Podcast
    I love the premise of this podcast. Dewey is a great interviewer and has a really thoughtful guest list. Even though I know these amazing artist are just regular people too, he draws things out of them that make them feel like someone that I might know. I’m bummed that I’m late to discovering this podcast but I’m stoked to have so many episodes to binge and I’m looking forward to what comes next.

    My favorite podcast!
    Every episode gets better and better. Dewey has such a natural way of “interviewing” (more like a conversation) with these amazing artists. Please check out this podcast!

    Fantastic Pleasure To Listen To
    I absolutely love this podcast. Dewey is an excellent interviewer. He and his guests create some truly awesome conversations that are a total joy and pleasure to listen in on. The Peer Pleasure Podcast showcases a wide variety of interesting guests. It’s been so fun catching up with my favorite bands from “back in the day” and learning what they’re up to present day and their incredible journeys along the way. I’m so thrilled to have learned about this podcast now (better late than never). I still have plenty to catch up on. I’ve listened to about 30 episodes or so, so far, and this podcast is easily topping my list of favorite shows. I very highly recommend! Total 5 star production all around! Love the content. Great work, Dewey!
  • Sawol1
    Worth binging
    Dewey is a rad interviewer. Doesn’t cut guests off from great stories. Asks interesting questions that lead into phenomenal stories told by the guests. If you love music, or entertainment this podcast is a great stop. Block out a large chunk of time or live with headphones in like I do... cause you’re about to go down the rabbit hole. Dewey doesn’t miss.
  • TJbrokenProton
    Fun & calming
    I love that this isn’t the typical “let’s hock the new album” style podcast . The conversations often naturally flow into unexpected directions. I find myself even enjoying the episodes that feature guests that I wouldn’t go out of my way to check out . I usually listen to podcasts while commuting to & from work, and these conversations are the perfect medicine to suppress my anger and anxiety while battling the insanity that is Boston driving .
  • Pasttensefutureperfect
    Great Podcast. A+
    I found this podcast in fall 2020 and I’m so grateful I did. As a male, as a parent and as a therapist, this podcast really impacts me in ways I did not expect. I thought I would be listening to another music podcast, but instead I find deep exploration of feeling and connection on such a deeper level. Sometimes it focuses on music, sometimes on mental health and sometimes goes other places you don’t expect. This podcast has quickly made its way to the top of my favorites list.
  • littlehelldolphin
    Great podcast.
    Great thoughtful questions with very interesting guests. Only wish it was longer. Keep them coming please 🙏🏽
  • Girth Algar
    Awesome Show
    This isn’t a typical music podcast where it comes off as a prepackaged interview with all the standard questions. Dewey knows how to have a legit conversation and make his guests feel comfortable and just talk like regular people. It’s super refreshing to hear someone interview legends like Chino Moreno and not try too hard to sound cool. A lot of music podcasts are slowed down by hosts that are too cool to be a fan. This is not that. Keep the awesome content coming, Dewey. Your show is awesome.
  • Saconater
    Entertaining

    Amazing
    Great show. Been listening for a while. Just caught the Keith Buckley episode and loved every second. Appreciate your openness with your family’s birth struggles as well as with your son. Having 3 autistic kids myself it was great to relate and find I’m not the only one that has to go through these challenges with my kids. Thank you.
  • jkenbok
    Music fan’s podcast
    This podcast ROCKS! I initially listened to it when it first started and I saw that there was an episode with Thomas Erak. As time went on Dewey has released numerous episodes with some of my favorite musicians and episodes with musicians I previously only vaguely new of, many of which were amazing conversations which introduced me to some of the coolest music I hadn’t previously listened to. I’ve also found out about some awesome movies, books etc from these cool conversations. If you love music and especially love finding out more about your favorite musicians - this podcast is for you.
  • Baby Ruth jrl
    Pure excellence
    Just listened to the John Gourley interview and wow. Dewey, the beautiful opening tribute to your dad was really moving and the interview was really refreshing and moving as well. Pure gold, nice work.
  • Nate N.
    This is so (insert bad word here) good
    Rather than a review I’m just going to say thanks for doing such an awesome podcast. Love hearing people talk more about their lives rather than the same old same old. So keep it up. Can’t wait to hear more. By the way people, listen to this show. You’ll love it.
  • RAF002
    High Quality
    One of the best interviews I have ever heard was this podcast. Really professional.
  • Jaggro
    Excellent conversations!
    Absolutely live the flow of conversations and how Dewey really makes an intimate connection of the guest and their work. His conversations are with artists that I grew up with and he really gets them to talk about their life’s works in such a flowing way. Great work and keep it up!
  • xVictorCreedx
    Great conversations
    Dewey is the man. Personable and curious, which are such important qualities in an interviewer.
  • Isaac Finley
    Peer Pleasure is Fantastic
    It’s as if Dewey himself took my record collection and just interviewed everyone in it. Seriously good stuff.
  • Flip Murray
    Peer Pleasure gets interviews others don’t
    This is an awesome music podcast with great interviews that flow like natural conversations . Dewey gets interviews with musicians that you don’t get to hear anywhere else. Love it .
  • pjdipes
    Favorite Music Podcast (Interview Format)
    I believe I stumbled on this wonderful podcast as I was dorking out attempting to find old interviews for Daryl Palumbo....Dewey had me covered luckily. Fortunately for me, as I listened to a ton of Peer Pleasure’s back catalogue of shows I found myself getting lost in the stories of other new and seasoned artists I admire. Your host, Dewey, never seems to force these interviews as they very much have the feel of just one on one conversations that often you feel are just eavesdropping in on. No scripts...just stream of conscienceness and spontaneity. I’m always looking forward to new episodes now. FFO: Post-Hardcore, Hardcore, Punk, Indie-Rock, Metal, & Pop-Culture)
  • yetimastr
    Def in my Top 5!
    Dewey is a wonderful host who speeks with artists in an honest and conversational way. This isn't you're regular old interview, Dewey is hanging and chatting and getting down with these performers on their level. I have been an avid listener for about 3 years now and this pod has given me countless hours of entertainment and knowledge! Kudos, Dewey! Thanks!
