Thank you for the music. Lydia
It doesn’t get any better than Live on KEXP. So damn good and the ‘podcast’ sound quality is on point!
Listener recommendation: Go for the “Performance & Interview Only” option. That’s where the hosts shine. Cheryl, Kevin, Morgan, everybody — keep doing your thing.
For a while there, this podcast sounded like it was recorded with a 32 bit MP3 stream. Finally back to the usual excellent sound quality! Don’t let this backslip again, KEXP!
I like this podcast because it has helped me find some new bands that I would not have discovered otherwise. In the last year or so they have added a “host” who talks. So. Much. I find myself skipping through large parts just to get to the actual music and avoid the host. It is really difficult to enjoy it any more. I hope this goes back to what it was which was a performance and not all the annoying morning FM DJ talking.
