- Best Music Pod I’ve Heard
I’ve heard a few podcasts that breakdown songs. And they’re OK. But this show breaks down entire albums, which is musically and intellectually stimulating. Cody and Hillary have amazing chemistry and bring the humor along with details that will intrigue you and help you reminisce on songs that are the soundtrack of your life. Highly recommend.
