The convo with Dar Williams was great. It made me want to sign up for songwriting retreats with BOTH of them!

Love listening to Rhett talk with his guests and his eagerness and willingness to learn and listen from them. He brings out some of the best stories from his peers. 10/10 every time.

Rhett’s podcast may be best structured one that I’ve listened too. Great premise, really smart.

Rhett brings on great guests and goes deep on their creative process, and life in general. Always a terrific listen and makes me feel better as a human

Wow !!! As a fellow creative songwriter and music maker, I really enjoyed this interview! Rhett, you ask such thoughtful questions and having had the privilege of working with Salim at Pleasantry Lane studios, it was really inspiring to get inside Salim’s creative heart & mind. I love how in his answer to your thoughtful question, he reminded us all to remember what we felt from hearing music as children. So inspired by the songs we heard on the radio & to never forget why we ever wanted to make music in the first place !!!🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 And, his dads voice “ Sometimes the thing you hate the most is the best thing for you.” 💎💎💎💎💎🙏🙏🤩 ha! So great. I can’t wait to get back to Pleasantry Lane studios and finish my tracks! When I first heard Salim’s songs and productions I loved them so much & that’s why I reached out to him in the first place! Thank you for doing this interview. Salim is a brilliant talent and I feel lucky to know him, now I feel like I know him just a little bit better ! Cheers!!! Suzzanne Paris

The more I hear Rhett, the more I want to listen to him. As an interviewer he exudes thoughtful insight, curiosity and humility. I’m enjoying meeting the folks he is a fan of through the podcast!

You just have to love such a talented, accomplished guy who remains a fan of other artists. It’s that kind of enthusiasm that makes Rhett a great interviewer who can draw out a good story, and add one of his own to boot. And he oozes likability. You can tell he likes his guests and they like him. Highly recommended.

Great conversation, Rhett is just genuine interested in his guests👍🎶

Rhett is the best interviewer of creative folks. His enthusiasm is contagious, his questions probing without being intrusive, and he brings out heretofore unknown and always fascinating aspects of his guests. 5 out of 5 stars.

I make no secret of my love for Rhett Miller and the Old 97s. I follow these guys around Texas like a true fangirl without shame, lol. Having said that, I listen to a ton of podcasts and don’t waste any time on a less than superb show. Trust me when I say Wheels Off is worth it if you’re interested in expanding your creativity. So many of us are afraid to try to write that story or poem or draw that picture for fear of failure. Rhett talks to successful artists who have dealt with the same issues and conquered their fears anyway. It’s an empowering feeling. Finally, Rhett is fantastic as an interviewer. I’d love to hear longer episodes!

If you love music this podcast is so good talking about creating music, writing music and writing in general. Such a deep dive into the musical experience. Please get Richard Edwards // Margot and the Nuclear So & Sos on the podcast 🖤💙

I love this podcast. Honeys conversations about being human, especially a human taking on the messy and rewarding art of creating. I discovered this podcast during the pandemic, when I was attempting to write my book. The messages, words of wisdom, vulnerable shares inspired me to complete by book and get it published!

I've long been a fan of Rhett and the 97s so tuning into this felt like hanging out with friends and just listening to them chat. It's great on a long car ride between gigs or a nice bike ride or walk. It inspires in the best way, by making you want to create more yourself.

You don’t have to be a fan of the Old 97s (but I am) to really dig this podcast. Satisfying conversations about creating with some people you know and some you might not. Rhett Miller brings an empathy and respect to these conversations that gets at things that probably don’t get unearthed in most.

Rhett Miller is such a joy to listen to. His questions are well thought and in depth. The conversations are outstanding, easy going and natural. I highly recommend this podcast!

Truly inspirational! In its realness and vulnerability, this podcast allows for inclusion for so many people who feel isolated in their creative endeavors.

Loved the Ashley Longshore interview! More like that, please.

Loved the Julia Cameron interview, Rhett. I'm reading The Listening Path now too and feel so inspired again. Thank you for being such a thoughtful and honest podcast host.

Rhett is a true wordsmith and pleasure to listen too. He has developed authentic friendships with some of the finest entertainers of our time. He is an attentive listener and each episode feels like a union of great minds and sincere hearts. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a little encouragement on your own creative journey.

This is a great podcast!

This is a wonderfully insightful, searching podcast about the creative process and always a very easygoing listen. Rhett is terrific at getting his guests going and then leaving them plenty space to elaborate.

Rhett is such an amiable thoughtful interviewer. He gets artists to talk about their practices and secrets. I really enjoyed the Buck Meek interview.

What a treat to listen to Rhett interview Buck Meek! This generous, earnest conversation about creativity was what I needed today; in particular the theme of developing the self-awareness to hear your first creative impulses and follow them, tuning out the fear and storylines that can easily cloud them out. Thank you so much for that.✨

Ever wonder what musicians talk about back stage or when they are in the studio together? With Rhett Miller’s podcast you get to be a fly on the wall and hear great conversations between amazingly talented musicians. Check it out!

Honest and entertaining interviews with interesting artists, even if you don’t know them beforehand they are intriguing to learn about. Rhett’s a genuinely curious and thoughtful interviewer- he goes deep but keeps it light, down to earth, with no pretensions.

Great for aspiring songwriters. Also for people like me who just enjoy the creative process whether it is song, books, poetry. I can recommend it for anyone because it’s just darn interesting

There are so few hosts who can do the switch and be interviewed, but Rhett proved that he’s such a great, vulnerable artist and it showed how gracious he is as a host. Rhett always give us a bit of insight when he’s the host without hogging the discussion, but I loved getting to know him way more as the guest. This podcast is such a reward to listen to.

Enjoyed the podcast from 04/14/2020 immensely. I subsequently subscribed. If you do not know Rhett's music (solo or Old 97's), do yourself a favor and dive in the deep end.

Love hearing how everyone approaches their craft. Rhett is a great interviewer and the guests are very interesting

I never miss an episode. Rhett approaches the interviews with humility and warmth. Very inspirational.

Generally genuine conversations between host and guest that are nice to eavesdrop on.

My long drive to work is enlightened by these beautiful people being interviewed! I’m loving all the guests and hearing their voices, personalities, perspective, humor, depth and creative process. Cheers to the encouragement to “Create Every Day” and oh, did I mention how brilliant the one and only Rhett Miller @rhettmiller is? I love hearing his laugh and his process too as he relates to his guests. Cheers to expanding our minds and our creativity! Much admiration and appreciation ☺️• Marilyn @tallrollerskates

Gordon is an amazung, consistent and hilarious guy and Rhett personalizes how Gordon is so versatile and thoughtful as he brings to life characters & writes so thoughtfully. Really enjoyed this conversation, thanks for having it!

I came to the show looking for a specific guest but I’m digging the show. I appreciate your work

Been a Rhett fan from the early Dallas days. He does it all. Didn’t know what to expect from his latest adventure into podcasting. Uncertainty lasted about 5 minutes into episode 1. He pulls from his rolodex of friends and cohorts from all mediums of art & entertainment. He has a flair for asking intelligent questions that warrant thought provoking responses. All from a place of genuine friendship. He’s just an all around good dude. I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every episode...

I love this podcast so much. Every episode has some awesome take-away that I still think of weeks & months later. Great questions and such engaging conversation. What a great variety of guests and perspectives!

This Podcast is so, so, so good. Like most people, my free time is a finite resource and was well spent bingeing on WO. Rhett is a magical interviewer with quick whit and one who listens deeply. Loved the variety of guests on the show. My hand is raised to host an episode of WO where I ask Rhett the same questions he asks his guests.

Rhett is a treasure trove of life experiences and he brings that and his wit to these episodes. Not to be missed by fans of art, music and pursuing your passion.

Rhett is great, as are the people he interviews. When is GORDON KEITH going to be on, Rhett? Or is he loathe to share his comedic secrets? Other than that, I’d like to see more women and non-white artists represented. But this is a seriously interesting topic, and Rhett asks some really great questions. I highly recommend!

The heart & soul that Rhett puts into his podcasts is undeniable. They are a must listen for everyone!

As a songwriter myself and a huge Old 97’s and Rhett Miller fan I gotta tell ya this podcast is one I look forward to interview after interview. Rhett has a calm engaging voice perfectly suited to the podcast format and having been in the music business from such a young age he can meet his guests wherever they’re at with their own experiences. Not only do I love these interviews for the positivity and validation it gives me personally as I continue with my own songwriting, but there are positive takeaways and insights into creative processes of successful artists that come out with every interview. Thank you, Rhett, for being such a positive force to other artists with this wonderful podcast!

I’m honestly so pleasantly surprised by these short, but meaningful interviews. I’m already a huge fan of the Old 97s, so it was natural to pick up this podcast by Rhett, but I wasn’t sure that it would resonate. And yet here I am enjoying even the ones I think I won’t find all that interesting, like the sports announcer, possibly more than the interviews of the people I adore, like Lydia Loveless and John McCrea. 30 mins is both a perfect snapshot and not nearly long enough.

Rhett is a great interviewer, including personal experiences while drawing insight from the guests. Always upbeat and positive.

The focus on the creative work ethic matched with Rhett Miller's ability to relate these themes to any artisitic endeavor makes this interview series really standout. Great show that keeps getting better.

I like listening to Rhett converse. He is humble and down to earth and makes the podcast feel like you are in a corner booth at a chill bar having a beer and listening to cool people tell stories. Love it!

Love the podcast, great guests and questions. But I suspect you might’ve been dissing Richmond, VA in the Howk interview. Say it ain’t so!

One of my favorites

Great show! I have always enjoyed Rhett’s commentary at concerts and this is like an extended version with other talented persons thrown in!

I LOVED the podcast with Rosanne Cash. Two obviously great friends having a wide ranging yet deeply insightful conversation about the creative process and taming the negative voices in their heads. Rhett is well prepared and does a beautiful job of it. Rosanne Cash is a fascinating interview. Well worth listening to. I look forward to more Wheels Off.

Listening to Rhett’s conversation with Rosanne Cash on creativity and how just ‘showing up’ to write/create is key to their work and longevity, has inspired me to get back to my own song writing. It’s actually been several years of pushing away my own songwriting sessions but after listening to Wheels Off, I am reminded how truly detrimental writing is to my physical and spiritual health. I look forward to the next three ‘conversations’!
