    Thoroughly impressed with how devoted Rob Alba is in his mission to discuss vital albums of our times. Itโ€™s not easy to continue to do a weekly podcast, but heโ€™s in it ~ for over six years. Kudos to Rob & TRGMH!

  • Many diff albums and goes in depth

    I like this music podcasts best as it does not stick to one artists or one genre and goes through the whole album. The back catalogue is worth checking out. Iโ€™ve discovered and rediscovered artists or albums and look forward to every weekโ€™s new one.
