Listen Carefully is a love letter to music. Each week, Australian music journalist Nathan Jolly talks to a different artist about their lives in and around music. Unlike other (unnamed) podcasts that take delight in mining uncomfortably personal topics, or just promote new music while calling it 'fresh content', Listen Carefully gets into the weeds.

    Trying real hard not to binge this. Want to draw it out and make it last. Great interviews with great guests. Nathan ask great questions and doesn’t get in the way of the answers. Hope to hear Craig Bloxom one day.

  • Never dull - A great listen

    Jolly doesn’t get in the way of a story, it breathes, & gets a few pearls from his interviewees. Some tell more of their escapades than the item being promoted but that’s oft the artists.. In all it’s a well rounded chat about the item at hand,influences etc. Have a listen. Usually frank,& intriguing & never boring.
