    You deleted literally your entire back catalog. Thousands of episodes, and only 21 random ones available. Don’t even bother.

  • Quality declined

    Used to be awesome! Now it isn’t so good. I see that they’re trying to diversify their guests and experiment with new formats but the quality is super uneven. Part of RA’s broader shift away from good editorial content in favor of being a ticketing platform with advertorial content on the side.

  • For an Electronic Music Noob, This is a Goldmine

    I know very little about the world of electronic music except the fact that I like it. This podcast is informative and captivating. Martha is such a talented host, I’d listen to her on any show. Love this show for long drives.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EX.788 Kim Gordon
Q: What is your advice to up-and-coming artists today?
Gordon suggests being careful what you wish for, as it might lead to unexpected consequences.
EX.788 Kim Gordon
Q: What has drawn you to making music in this style?
Gordon attributes it to her collaborator Justin Raisen and a natural attraction to rhythm over melody.
EX.787 Voices From The Lake
Q: Can you talk a little bit about this 360 degree spatial audio system?
It's about putting the listener in the center and creating an immersive sound experience where sounds can be perceived in a three-dimensional space.
EX.787 Voices From The Lake
Q: What resonates with you about the Japanese attitude?
Japanese culture influences us significantly. Its emphasis on sound, detail, and minimalist aesthetics resonates deeply with our music.
EX.787 Voices From The Lake
Q: When did the idea for the record begin? Is it something that you were kind of quietly working on for many years, or did it come about pretty spontaneously?
The idea came right after we released the first album. The problem is that we had too much pressure after the first album, which halted our progress for a while.
