  • It’s ok if you know nothing about music

    Disappointing and dismissive. Fairly sloppy, no major revelations that haven’t been shared for debates, riddled with lots of sloppy incorrect info.

    Loved the episode on Fleetwood Mac! It was really cool learning so much more about all the drama behind the band, but also didn’t know how much happened with Silver Spring before it was finally released!

  • Music podcast with no podcast

    Can't be talking about specific songs in a podcast without actually PLAYING the songs. Thumbs down to that

  • Absolutely LOVE it… but…

    Maybe you should have some sort of editor to fact check your work. I’m SURE it was just misspoken, but you mentioned in the Rosetta Tharpe episode that Irvin and Israel Feld had record stores in Baltimore, TENNESSEE. They were from Hagerstown, MARYLAND. So having record stores in a teeny tiny crossroads in Tennessee seems unlikely. You also called Blind Faith ‘BAD Faith’. So minor… but enough to raise flags. Looking forward to your massive success!
