Gotta admit… When I first heard Yasi on Rob’s 60 Songs podcast my first vibe was that she was too clever by half. But I tried 24 questions and then Bandsplain and now she is essential listening. Incredible research… Funny as hell… And comes across as a genuinely good person.
Great stuff. Feels like Buds at a party explaining why I need to go buy the complete discography of bands I already know well or knew I should've known. Good excuses even when their taste seems bad.
Yasi and her cohosts are like that first time in 1993 when you heard ‘Dead and Bloated’ by STP. It was on a cassette on your 10 dollar walkman from Sam Goody. The headphones where foamy and bright red, there was a long break at the start of the tape when before you heard the tortured voice of a generation.

Experts. People who were there, who shared a cab with Jarvis Cocker, friends who took photos of Kurt Cobain, people in the scenes at the time, remembering, reminiscing, revealing. So good to have Spotify playlists to go with too. Well researched and always revealing something is not discovered before. Thank you!
This pod is amazing!!
