    4 The Girls!!
    I tell every girlie, woman, and child about this pod! Xylo asks great questions - often ones I’m wondering about during the episodes. The guests are extremely knowledgeable and engaging. I’m always inspired after a listen and grateful for all the MPW here and beyond the podcast app.
  • Kiki Doe
    Amazingly Digestible. Easily Graspable.
    I am used to watching YouTube videos on production content and having to buffer through unwanted info and revisit info I couldn’t grasp the first time. With THIS podcast, I’m able to possibly consume what I needed and hear it relate to real lives, and go back later to bookmarked areas and apply when ready. Amazing 🙌🏽

    Yess

  • MelChoQue
    More than resourceful
    Thankful for finding this podcast and the online courses that come with the service! The podcast not only provides really insightful information into lesser considereded topics of musoic production, it also really speaks to some ofthe possible challenges that one faces as a woman in the industry. On the podcast, I've learned about talet to check out, as well as tips for performing, and other means of promoting the productions. The nuts and bolts of how music is made electronicaly is no small fish to fry, but this podcast is addressing that with the perspective of a woman in mind.

    Sooo DOPE!!!!
    I’m already pre-amped to enjoy everything that’s set to come. Ms. Xylo Aria has one of the most joyful personalities & I’m looking forward to engaging with her on these musical topics. Moreover, as a new member of MPW, my mind & hopes are set on absorbing some really good music production information that will help us all become better music makers. So, with that being said, I’ve got my gaming chair & my popcorn ready! Let’s Get It!!! :o)

    Makes music production not so scary
    Covers the step by step basics about the flexibility of MIDIs, audio effects and transformations, and mixing. A great esteem booster to get started and close the gap in music production!

    Let’s go MPW
    I have been a fan since the MPW online class and I’m glad you are doing this ! Thanks so much for the information you give. Hope to be where you are one day. #Blessing
  • Vmagicsounds
    Great podcast
    This is so good, it’s such a blessing. Many people (like me) are interested in music production but don’t know exactly how to start, and this podcast has been the answer for me. :)
  • kriti25
    A really good podcast
    I’m a beginner in the music production field, and this podcast has taught me so much not only about production but also about being a woman and producing!! Thank you for making wonderful content.
  • Steffanie C
    Learning something new!
    Amazing! Thank you for the knowledge!
  • Crimesofparis
    We need this podcast
    Not enough can be said about the importance of representation. That alone makes this podcast necessary. But that's not the only reason. Even though I went to school for music business and took studio classes, studio stuff never clicked for me until recently, in no small part because of this podcast and it's organization.
  • McFire3
    Women in production
    Thank you for empowering women in production xxx
  • camila's listener =P
    Great energy and content
    Had a lot of fun during the first episode!
  • Yarelis N
    Excited for episodes to come!
    This podcast is absolutely awesome for anyone who is new to producing music. I have started just a few months ago and I felt within these first few episodes like I was being thought of. In the first few months of producing I felt super lost and overwhelmed with where to start or HOW! This podcast really opens the door for anyone interested in production who just feels as I did.
