  • Devoted to the cause

    Thoroughly impressed with how devoted Rob Alba is in his mission to discuss vital albums of our times. It’s not easy to continue to do a weekly podcast, but he’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. I’ve discovered and rediscovered artists or albums and look forward to every week’s new one.
