Cole has made something truly special. I listen to a lot of podcasts and this is by far my favorite. I’ve been able to get so much more out of music I love and learn about music I didn’t know that has become music I love.
I loved the Radiohead dissect of in rainbows. Wish they did more Radiohead albums.
Have loved tearing through the seasons of this podcast! Cole is incredibly insightful and easy to listen to! Really enjoyed the In Rainbows season and gaining an EVEN DEEPER appreciation of an already-masterful album.
Even the supplemental episodes (Song Drafts and the like) are entertaining and a fun with the co-host/buddies that Cole brings in.

The way you spoke about how BIG the Rosalía album is to you brought me to tears. I not only agreed with that sentiment but also I felt such a kindred spirit with this overwhelmed sensation of loving something so deeply it’s nearly impossible to put into words. Thank you💙
Love this in depth into great music. Hope Rosalias Lux will be next!
