  • Sound quality

    Great selections but equally great sounding music, as in high fidelity sound. The music dosent sound compressed or tinny like some other podcasts. Nice job.

    I remember a time when you could flip on the radio and find a jazz station. Usually at one end of the dial. Miss it. And youtube just doesn't scratch that itch. This podcast does! Fantastic selection of music. Keep them coming, we are listening!
