  • Wonderful podcast

    *The* best music podcast, always super-insightful, entertaining and engaging. A few more post-2000 albums would be nice, mind you.

  • Stick with the main hosts

    First off, this is hands down my favorite music podcast and the only non political podcast I listen to regularly which makes it a good palette cleanser. However, I think the show is best when the core crew is covering episodes. The guest hosts on the whole don't really add much (except for Amanda's husband he's pretty cool). When I was listening to the Automatic for the People episode though, I took an instant disliking to Jeff Blehar. He was so smug and completely talked over all the other host... more

  • Bullseye

    I was looking for some thoughtful takes on Curtis Mayfield, and that’s how I found this pod. I could not believe how perfect that episode was for what I was looking for. I cannot wait to binge this series. The guys are funny, organized, well spoken, not prone to annoying interruptions or cross talk. And they take their time and analyze every track.

  • good but...

    Let's just say that I have the exact opposite opinion of Amanda Rogers. That's not the deal-breaker though. The laugh, the laugh...gets me every time! If there was a way to just mute her out then I give this 5 stars. Commentary seems thorough, good chemistry between the other 2 hosts, nice small samples of the music that they are talking about is appreciated.
