I’m 17 and Phil Ochs is my hero, not gonna lie he was a satirical, literary, and musical genius.
Such an interesting podcast - I swear guys, this history is so so needed rn, thanks so much for this!
Apple Podcasts5shhhlistenyallCanada2 years ago - Wonderful
The host handles Phil's story with a maturity and wit that's really refreshing. Both Ochs-obsessed weirdos like me and new fans can learn a lot and get a better picture of who he was!

The album discussions are really entertaining, and it's nice to hear other young folks get together and t... more
