Thanks for this podcast. You do a superb job of assembling a story out of multiple interviews. I’ve really enjoyed listening, and I’ve learnt a lot. Thank you.
I just discovered this podcast and I’ve already devoured five or six episodes in a two day span. This is such a fascinating look behind the scenes into some of my favorite records, and done in such a skillful, understated way. My only complaint is that I wish the back catalogue was a lot bigger so that I wouldn’t run out of episodes anytime soon.
Great greater greatest
Deep dive into one incredible record after the next. I get so excited when I see a new episode come through because I know I’ll get to find out often about a band I didn’t know about or at least not nearly as well. It’s just such a great podcast. I’d say Podcast at their best allow for great works of art like this
Each episode is brilliantly made. By far my favourite music podcast
