If you're under the age of, say, 50, there's a good chance that your idea of The Doors is shaped as much by Oliver Stone's 1991 movie, and Val Kilmer's portrayal of Jim Morrison, as it is by the music of The Doors themselves. Today, a look at the mov... more

  • That’s the premise?? Really?

    Naomi Fry and quite a few of her guests insult, rather than honor, The Doors on their 60th anniversary. The podcast’s basic premise is that The Doors are universally considered corny and generally disliked.

  • This is fresh air

    As a longtime Doors fan, this was the podcast I didn’t know I needed. Actually I did know but I wasn’t sure it would happen- intelligent minds speaking about ideas and trends and cultural significance, concepts at 30,000 feet not regurgitated laundry list of trope and cliche comments and facts for the sake of shock and sensationalism, that’s a dead end. But this is new and fresh, love it!
