While we operate mainly on YouTube and other video services, with this podcast we wan't to enable people to listen to a selection of both old and new interviews whenever and however they prefer. A short disclaimer: Because a lot of our interviews are conducted at festivals, music venues, hotels, restaurants, and the like, the quality of the audio isn't always in our full control, so please bare with us when the sound quality doesn't always match that of other podcasts. Having said that, we do want to provde the listener with as comfortable a listening experiences as possible, so not every interview that we do as FaceCulture will find its way to the podcast. All interviews we do are still available on www.youtube.com/faceculture. Thanks for your continued support!

In deze podcast praten Rinus Gerritsen, Berget Lewis en Martin Kuiper over Live Up To Your Love, een song van Rinus Gerritsen met zangeres Berget Lewis op zang. Live Up to Your Love heeft een onmiskenbare 80s feel en is de eerste release van Rinus' Garage, het solo project van Rinus Gerritsen.
