  • Less hot takes please

    Love the content and good questions. Appreciate it when thoughtful and careful consideration with curiosity is the driving force in the conversation. Unfortunately, the hot takes and rambling is too distracting and annoying. Perhaps it’s the “let’s talk about one thing at a time” that I really enjoy and some episodes are all over the place. Less of the latter please!

  • Okay

    All the concepts are worth exploring here, I just wish that they’d expand the discussion beyond classic rock. Soul/funk/rnb/hiphop is only occasionally mentioned tangentially, but they never actually dedicate time to those topics other than to acknowledge their existence.

  • No music/audio examples makes this podcast worse than its competition

    Strong Songs, Song Exploder, Switched on Pop, Tape Notes are all far superior to this podcast because the hosts of Ghost Notes (either out or laziness or gate-keeping) fail to provide musical examples of the songs or musical concepts they’re talking about. What’s the point of a music podcast without any music to illustrate their points? It makes the podcast inaccessible to most prospective listeners. I hope that the hosts read this review and re-think their format.
