I only listen to podcasts that I feel are 5 stars. This might sound pretty strict or narrow, finding the time to enjoy podcasts is always an issue. But these podcasts are definitely worth the effort. Informative and entertaining. I’m never disappointed.
This is a great podcast! Wide variety of topics and I feel like I learn something whenever I listen. The speakers always make me feel like I’m right there in the room. I loved the American Opera series and it made me excited about Omar. I’m looking forward to the season.
James Conlon’s pre-show lectures have been invaluable for my deepening love and appreciation of opera, so stumbling upon this podcast has been a revelation. He provides fantastic context with a charming delivery. Truly one of LA’s shining jewels.
Along with Aria Code, this is the best opera podcast I’ve found. James Conlon is the perfect host; incredibly knowledgeable, but he ‘wears it lightly.’ I love his enthusiasm, but even more, his gifts as a teacher. Bravo, bravo from a ‘die-hard’ NYer who is intensely loyal to her beloved Met. I can’t wait to get to LA again to come hear you live.
