4th season is awesome so far. I love all the cool song facts! I hope there will be a season 5. Listening to Tommy reminds me of the mixed cassette tapes I used to get for my birthday

I do not see any episodes past May 2019.
Famous Lost Words podcast is fantastic! It's a ton of great audio from interview clips with pop and rock musicians over the last 40 years or so. The co-hosts are enthused and funny, and thankfully they've cut out all the nonsense from rockstar interviews and left us with only the interesting bits. I really recommend you give it a try. I bet you'll dig it!
I love the "deep dive" into the interview archives. Hearing the interview highlights plus the interplay between the hosts is great. I remember Christopher from his MuchMusic days. I had no idea he wrote "Black Velvet"!
