Two Good Ears Podcast
Two Good Ears is a podcast that dives deep into the world of music, hosted by Rich Reardin. With a wealth of experience as a musician, producer, audio engineer, multi-media producer, radio producer, and studio owner, Rich brings a unique perspective to every conversation. He co-founded the radio show In Search of a Song in 2005 alongside legendary guitarist Jason Wilber (John Prine), which aired over 700 episodes on PRX (Public Radio Exchange). Two Good Ears takes the same approach as the radio show, but expands its scope to include archived interviews, current music trends, pro-audio insights, and lively discussions with guest hosts—many of whom are longtime friends of the show and respected music professionals themselves.
