  • Genius

    This is simply the BEST podcast about music.The encyclopedic knowledge (I'm dating myself) the host, John Schaffer has about both history and directions of modern music is unparalleled. And the podcast had the best ratio of music:talking. This show is also one of the reasons I'm a WNYC member!

  • If you’re looking for new music...

    ... this is a perfect place to find it. Guests are often musicians or groups that are just under the popular radar but deserve more love and attention.

  • Amen!

    Just read e-mail from WNYC’s new CEO, reversing the decision to cancel the show! Good things are still possible - Schafer is a wizard we’d be poorer without.
