These are great essays and interviews. Probably one of the best podcasts I've stumbled on. Even though I'm late to the party, I'm thankful I got to be here.
This podcast is Jamiroquai erasure
What a treat to revisit the songs that shaped my teens and young adulthood with Rob's deep research, insights and respect for the artists he spotlights. This podcast is all about the music and the very human experiences that shaped it, without veering into gossip or casting judgement. This is The History of New Music for the next generation. (An episode featuring both Rob and Alan Cross would be great!)
That’s a Mitch Hedberg reference from an episode of this show, sort of. You know what I mean. Anyhow, I absolutely adore this podcast. I don’t really listen to learn about the song/artist, but to hear Rob tell a winding story that nobody can predict where it’s going to go, and it’s just perfect. Rob please make many more episodes!
He has the best dry sense of humour ever! I’m actually very much enjoying the 2000s episodes. I highly recommend! It took me a while to get into the style of this podcast (the interviews at the end took me awhile to enjoy) but I am loving it now! Every single pop culture flashback is amazing! 🙌
They’re very well written and entertaining podcast episodes. 👏
