- So pleasant
I enjoy this show for the information - loved the John Hartford and Johnny Cash pieces especially. But I also really appreciate how calming and pleasant the show sounds and feels.

I’ve always been fascinated by the history of American folk music. This podcast could not be more up my alley. In addition to telling the story of artists from the past, it has introduced me to contemporary artists like Charlie Parr, who I don’t think I would have found otherwise. I also like the flexible format where the subject may be an artist, a song, a record label, etc.
Apple Podcasts5nuncharmsUnited States3 months ago - Fantastic!
Stumbled on this while looking for the origin of Peggy-O. I thought it was a Civil War song and had no idea it is even older than the Revolution. I love traditional music and this podcast is a GEM! I will be binging it. The only problem is that I keep stopping the podcast to look things up and listen to more songs. Great idea for a podcast and the presentation is perfect.
