  • Love it—I’ve learned so much!

    I love this podcast. I’ve learned so much from the stories behind these songs. And even if I sometimes know part of the story, Claude usually stumps me with the trivia question or shares covers I didn’t know about.

    Start with an episode on a song you like and then branch out. If you’re like me, you’ll find you’ve soon listened to every episode of this great podcast.

  • Good info and trivia-no too long either. A lot of information is in each episode. Even if I don't care for the song, I learn something and that's a good thing. Give it a try.
