Why not do a podcast? With this simple question, it all began. The idea behind the 'Voices Of Russ Ballard Podcast' came to our minds during the summer of 2020 and was orginally planned as a series of 12 podcasts for one year. The intention behind the podcast is very simple: We hope to entertain Russ's fans out there a little with well known guest stars to share their memories with us. This podcast is fully endorsed by Russ Ballard. ©russballardmusic.com
