  • Decent content buried under Patreon ads

    I’m all for supporting a full time creative but the intro and outro self promotion has turned me off this podcast (and many others that I know). I genuinely don’t wish any ill will to Dave. I hope you realize you don’t need to grind the ads for so long and so often. And it’s the same script every single week. It may be turning more people away who would actually support a patreon to hear extra tidbits. On top of that, not everyone can afford to support your endeavors but may just want to... more

I listen to a lot of podcasts. Discograffiti informs and entertains me with shows on artists I love and introduces me and piques my interest in those that are new to me. bravo!

  • The Gold Standard

    This should be the podcast by which all other podcasts are measured. I have been enthralled and engaged in the detailed facts that go into every episode. I have actually listened to the same episodes repeatedly simply out of sheer enjoyment. I have found myself not being able to listen to other music podcasts now because they seem so amateurish compared to Discograffiti. But that’s okay, Discograffiti provides more than enough and is well worth listening to. P.s. - “And Your Dreams Come True” w... more

    Dave puts the labor in labor of love. The dude comes so prepared to every interview - his depth of knowledge is astounding and his deep and sincere interest in his subjects comes across every time. Prepared meets earnest meets going deeper than anyone on the internet. Cheers, Dave.
