  • Fantastic

    Just so cool. The episodes from the 1930’s are like entering an auditory museum. And the contemporary episodes (2018 & 2019) have a really eclectic mix of music. Probably 2/3 of which I’ve never heard before, but I really appreciate the wide variety. What an excellent project. My favorite recent podcast discovery, thanks to being featured on The Browser newsletter.
