Bed Time podcast š“š¤š
Iāve been listening for a few years now itās a great podcast to listen to for any genre of music because Phil enjoys all of it, and itās entertaining enough to want to listen to but also I can just hop into it at any moment so I can fall asleep to it. Thanks! šø

Best Guitar Podcast
Phil has the best guitar podcast out there. He has a wealth of experience as a guitar builder and guitar store owner, and now as a YouTuber/podcaster. He happily shares his knowledge and legitimately cares about his listeners. If you listen consistently, youāll learn so much about gear and the guitar gear ecosystem.

Another Leftist Guitar YouTuber
Made a Trump joke about putting tariffs on orange paint. Is good friends with 60 cycle hum, a leftist tds yt channel. Has Ben Coombs as a moderator. A online troll and Canadian who constantly comments anti Trump propaganda. Ok, fine thatās your views Phil. But after finding this out, I refuse to watch and support you. Would be nice to keep politics off of guitar channels and if unavoidable get some republican guitar channels to even the field.

For years Phil has been a great driving companion while on the road and a favorite You Tube channel when Iāve been lucky enough to have time to watch!

Best Podcast On The Internet
Love Philās show. Been a YT subscriber for years, great to be able to download and listen on the go. I always learn something valuable in every episode.

Very informative
Iāve listened to every episode of KYG and appreciate Phil passing along his knowledge, expertise and opinions. His YouTube channels are helpful as well and given me the confidence to fix and/or mod some guitars. Thanks KYG!

A stunningly popular show
If the boring repetition of 'insider' subjects and brands doesn't repel you, wait until the fifth time in one episode that the host deploys his verbal tic, the redundant 'is', as in "The thing about Fender izzizz bleet loop."
Didn't think izzizz was a word? It izzizz now!

Phil McKnight is a national treasure
Know Your Gear is a great resource for those looking to learn about guitar maintenance and the guitar sales industry. Philās takes are unusually candid for a podcast, and he has the experience and know-how to back them up. If you catch his love show, heās always open to questions, and nearly never runs ads or has sponsored content.

Great information from a good dude
I appreciate Phil for all of the great guitar information from a guy that seems to genuinely care for his audience. Great perspective and he always seek to contextualize to where you might be as a player. Highly recommended!

Stop Blaspheming
Jesus is not a swear word. Iād appreciate it if youād stop using it in your podcasts. 2 out of the last 3 podcasts youāve let it slip by. Other than that I love your podcast!!! I wouldnāt be writing this if I didnāt care.

I dig the show, butā¦ā¦
More consistency in terms of release cycle would be nice (most podcasts come out weekly on a schedule), and for crissakes, dial back on the ads. Holy cow, do you really need that many per episode?

Know MY Gear!
Been watching Phil on YouTube for a bit so hitting up the podcast just made sense. A great feel of community, and no episode goes by where I donāt learn something, big or small. Just a great thing to listen to while driving or even doing tech work on my guitars. Love it!

Love it, but friendly criticism
I enjoy this podcast, and I doubt this will reach Phil, but please stop smacking after a drink itās very very annoying!

Fun and Uplifting
Phil has a positive attitude and doesnāt pander in the negativity I hear on many podcasts. He knows his stuff without sounding like a jerk.

Knowledgeable, jovial, informative and fun
I have been watching Philās videos on YouTube for months. He combines industry insight, hardcore guitar geekiness, and a candid communication style that makes his content a pleasure to listen to and watch.
I particularly appreciate how even in the rare cases when heās opinionated about something and with all the authority he could appeal to because of years and years of experience, heās very open to different opinions. This makes for a very healthy exchange of ideas and a great atmosphere in the community who follows him.
The content and tone is varied (within the bounds of guitar and the music gear industry) and frequently updated and relevant. I find myself listening to this during commutes, workouts, as background chatter, or doing house chores all the same.

Know Your Gear Podcast
Personally, for me this is my favorite pod. Phil is a great resource to us guitar players! I learn something every time I listen to KYG. Iāve done a lot of guitar repairs I usually would pay other people to do thanks to Phil. Took me a few to warm up to Phil, but he grows on you. You realize āthereās no stupid questionsā with him and he always treats people with respect with their questions. I wish the guy all the success in the world. Heās put in the work and he deserves it! Subscribe to this channel if you play guitar!!!!!!

On and Off
I watched Phil a few times on YouTube and listened to him āon and offā periodically... I listened him the the other day and besides the fact that we have almost the exact same amps, he said a few things that struck me and revealed to me who this guy really is - first and for most he seems like a very genuine and caring person and thatās awesome and immediately made me a fan! I learned so much about him during the 2 episodes that just made me want to watch more. Phil is extremely knowledgeable, great content and a pretty darn good player when he plugs in. Iāve been binging and will continue to support this guy! Thank you for everything Phil - GREAT show!!!

Fantastic!
If you love guitars and not just the ones rich collectors can afford - youāve found the right podcast. Iāve been collecting for years and Iāve learned a ton from Phil via his podcast and YouTube videos. Thanks Phil!

You are doing yourself a disservice if you donāt listen to this podcast and check out Philip McKnightās YouTube channel. There is great content multiple times a week.

Great pod for any gear nut

Great guitar/amp/pedal/gear podcast!!
Each episode, about an hour long, is an entertaining adventure into the world of guitar gear. Brands, models, years, amps, pedals, working rigs, studio rigs, current and historic guitar builders/ players, you name it- AND... it's all based on YOUR (and my) questions! The live shows are spontaneous and fun, generated weekly in real time on YouTube using the chat feature to talk to Phil. The Podcast is an additional weekly program where he shares his response to emails, messages from Facebook/Instagram/Patreon, and his thoughts about topics that may be in the news related to the industry. Phil is fun, spirited, and positive, is honest in his reviews, and is candid with his thoughts. His stated goal is to bring together a community of people who gather and interact with each other, all based on their love and passion for guitars and gear. He leads by example, and I'm happy to be included!

Great podcast - file size too big!
Love the podcast and youtube channel, but the size of your downloaded files for this podcast are huge! Especially compared to other podcasts with longer episodes. Otherwise thumbs up!

Its a Community
As Phil says on his channel, what we've all built is a place to come together without the distractions and things that divide us and come together for a love of music and the tools used to create it. One of the most casual and family friendly podcasts and channels on the internet. Say hi!
