Reviews
- A thoughtful podcast for and by creative people
What a cool way to examine an artist as influential as Cobain. I like listening to it while I draw and paint. I enjoy all the host’s takes, including international perspectives! Give it a listen—it’ll make you excited about the bands you love and may introduce you to new sounds.

United States18 days ago - Astrology?
If I wanted to listen to unironic discussions of astrology I’d find some New Age podcast to rot my brain with. This is a disappointing and shallow discussion of great records.

Dopes trying to sound intellectual instead of making an interesting topic... interesting.
Apple Podcasts1ChaucerXIVUnited States2 months ago - Bad Brains’ Homophobia AndMisogyny
Why ignore the well-documented severe homophobia and misogyny of the Bad Brains in your episode on them? The hosts repeatedly mention Cobain’s political and social views in the context of the 50 albums, yet conveniently ignore the bigotry of the Bad Brains. Biased journalism, simply put.
