  • great podcast to discover music

    I’ve been listening to this podcast since it launched, and it always managed to stick something new and interesting into my ears- The Evie Stokes version is a bit more focussed, which makes for extremely efficient listening- especially during a quick car trip- combined with the new weekly tuesday music update podcast with new album recs, KEXP has made a nice one-two punch for keeping up with new music releases…totally dig it…

  • This podcast works now!

    After two format changes the podcasts focuses on a single new song, which is played in its entirety. KEXP DJs and musicians give interesting background about the music.

  • 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
