  • Deep and insightful

    I’ve discovered so many great albums listening to this podcast. And they give me all the info I need to know if it’s something I might like to listen to or not. They pack a lot of info into a not too long podcast, and still manage to be fun and interesting to listen to.

  • A Fun One

    Coming to great albums from the point of view of someone — and in this case, two someones — is a lot of fun. You want to jump in the conversation, a sign of a podcast that works well with a conventional style.

  • What is the point?

    No sure I understand what the point of this podcast is talking about an albums music without even playing a short clip of the music? Just seems pointless to me.
