  • Full Songs Please

    I typically love all things KEXP (especially the music obviously)... While the idea for the change from song of the day to "In Our Headphones" seems like it could be interesting, my immediate reaction after hearing the first episode is I would really like to hear the full versions of the songs instead of short previews. As of episode 1, this podcast primarily features discussions about what the KEXP crew is listening to with short clips of each song that fade in and out. Let's hear those full so... more

  • Excellent Reboot

    “In Our Headphones” just switched hosts to Evie Stokes, one of KEXP’s very best DJs - she brings a warmth and passion for music that’s infectious. It’s also great to hear from other DJs on the show, and nice to hear from Chris Sanley and Alex Ruder as well, given their roles as tastemakers. Big improvement over the last version

  • Music explorer!

    I love learning about music! Especially from people who are passionate about all things music. DJs to music are like a photo to the album, their ability to catalogue and pull the song that you didn’t know you need to hear amazes me. This pod is gives the ability to peek into their process. Janice is a fantastic interviewer and I love her enthusiastic voice, curiosity, joy and excitement for music and the DJS she interviews. It is palpable!

  • Too much woke and latin….

    KEXP’s vibe and intent has drifted considerably the last few years. Too much focus on Latin X stuff which is a made up thing. In the Latin language, there is male and female in the beautiful language. Keep our culture…..
