“Thank you Successfully Unsigned for having me on your program! I felt deeply welcomed by you three, and treated with care and respect. It is the most thought out and professional podcast I’ve been featured on. I feel like I not only walked away with a top notch feature to share with my fans, but three new friends as well. Thank you again Dale, David and Patrick!”

“I told the boys of successfully unsigned that the experience was a ‘balm to my soul’. Jokes aside, it seriously was. They were all so funny, talented at their role, and comfortable to be around… Patrick has a gift of maintaining structure in the interview while encouraging natural and chummy conversation. I had met him once before, but already felt like we were friends. Interacting with David and Dale quickly felt the same… and I could’ve talked for hours with all of them. Amazing experience and amazing idea to connect local artists!”

“Successfully Unsigned is an incredible podcast whether you’re a guest or a listener! Patrick, David and Dale truly do their research and they asked me some of the most thoughtful questions I’ve ever been asked on a podcast! We had such a blast and I felt so supported. Even after we recorded our episode, they’ve continued to come to my shows, post about my music and have shown me so much love. They’re not only putting out incredible and entertaining episodes, they’re fostering a wonderful community of artists that I feel incredibly honored to be a part of!”
