Yes, they promote their high-end ukuleles. Yes, there&#8217;s a lot of pointless chit-chat, as on every podcast. But there&#8217;s also plenty of music, with some of the best of the newer ukulele players, sometimes playing songs and compositions they haven&#8217;t yet recorded. Players like Honoka, Neil Chin, Taimane Gardner, and many others, appear on the podcast and jam with regulars Corey Fujimoto and Kalei Gamaio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For someone like me who&#8217;s trying to pick up the uke again, it&#8217;s really helpful to hear what really good ukulele playing sounds like. Plus ukulele players tend to be welcoming friendly people, and the ukulele itself is a gentle happy instrument.
