I wonder what determines the scope of coverage. I remember the bicentennial show so easily.
I’ve loved Top 40 music over the ages ... and this Podcast brings it all back, not just the music itself (conveniently made available via Spotify companion playlists) but the rich history underlying the artists and compositions. “Spoken Joe” relates the history thru little known, fascinating accounts of featured material. Subscribe. Listening is well worth your time! Kevin Farrell ~ Akron, OH
I learn something new every time. I can’t wait for the next one! The addition of Spotify enhances the podcast!
Excellent podcast!!
If you’re going to listen to exactly one podcast this year, make it any one of Spoken Joe’s episodes about Rock and Roll and the History of the Top 40. And if you’re planning to make podcasts a New Year’s resolution, this series is a great place to start! Having been born in ‘67, I always assumed that Casey Casum created the Top 40 sensation. Spoken Joe Williams, has proven otherwise, and has shared his own love of music nostalgia and trivia in a beautifully presented series of Top 40 stories. more
Joe does an incredible job of pulling a particular time period all together in the space of one podcast. From start to finish he can cover an wealth of information and still pull it all back together so you remember where he started. Music, regardless of your taste, evokes emotions and memories. If the inaugural podcast is any indication, you will remember things long forgotten.
Great podcast. My Mom an I listened together and really enjoyed the blast from the past. We are anxious to hear more.
Hey - loved the podcast. Great first episode. Looking forward to more.
