    This heady joint is actually a series of music documentaries with two affable hosts who invite us into their living room to explore all music has to offer. Each listen I laugh, learn, and lean into the joy this offering provides.

  • One of my favorite music podcasts. Often, we know nothing about the history of what we listen to. These hosts make us smarter about the music we listen to while keeping it entertaining. I am grateful for this podcast because it makes me want to be more informed about music. Great job !
