The Greatest Music of All Time podcast is a chance to hear candid stories and conversations from some of your musical heroes.

Host Tom Cridland has built a small vault of these unique conversations.

Cridland got his start as a fashion designer, designing sustainable clothing and selling them on his website, tomcridland.com

Starting this podcast helped Cridland recover from a binge drinking addiction. At rock bottom, his drinking had escalated to the point of consuming over 20 pints in single sessions. Cridland added that doing this podcast in pandemic had helped keep him clean.

In the 300-plus interviews, Cridland has featured entertainment/music/acting icons such as The Temptations, Tito Jackson of The Jackson 5, Pixies, The Pointer Sisters, The Hollies, Earth, Wind & Fire, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Kool & the Gang, Raphael Saadiq, Brooks & Dunn, Boyz II Men, Gloria Estefan, Brian McKnight, John Oates and many, many more.

Cridland cultivates an environment that allows these musical titans to go beyond the album covers.  They share intimate stories of their career, stories of their generation and reflect on the state of today’s music.
