Two Good Ears Podcast
Two Good Ears is what happens when one lifelong audiofile, musician, producer, audio engineer, and storyteller sits down with the people who make music worth listening to. Host Rich Reardin invites artists, producers, engineers, and fellow sound‑obsessives to talk shop, swap stories, and lend an ear on how music really gets made.
The show grew out of 'In Search of a Song' which morphed into 'Beyond a Song', a long‑running radio series Rich co-hosted and produced from 2005 with guitarist Jason Wilber (John Prine). Over 700 episodes aired on PRX, capturing candid moments with icons, innovators, and the unsung heroes of the music, in the recording studio and on stage performance.
Today, in podcast form, Two Good Ears carries that spirit forward. It blends fresh interviews, pro‑audio insight, music history, and the kind of relaxed, real conversations that only happen when musicians talk to musicians. Whether it’s a veteran producer, a touring songwriter, or a new artist finding their voice, every guest brings a story worth hearing — and Rich brings the curiosity, humor, and experience to draw it out.
If you love music, the craft behind it, and the people who make it matter, you’re in the right place.

We recently lost American music icon Chip Taylor, the songwriter behind “Angel of the Morning,” “Wild Thing,” and hundreds of other classics. In this episode, we share clips from a 2011 interview we recorded at his Manhattan apartment, where Chip reflected on his early life, many songs he wrote for others, his solo songs and album Yonkers, New York, and the experiences that shaped his remarkable career. This podcast is from our archive, and these clips from Chip's interview were originally broadcast on 'In Search of a Song', hosted by Jason Wilber (John Prine's guitarist).
