The Breakdown

I love the podcast and sorry it ended. It would be great if it could come back in some form.

I Love this series! I want more episodes! There are so many more albums you could do! Old and in the Way, a New Grass Revival album or two, The Bluegrass Album Band come to mind. PLEASE, make more! I’m dyin’!

Love the podcast

It’s a talk show ABOUT bluegrass recordings. They do a good job but if you don’t know the album you won’t have a clue. I disagree with something they say almost every episode. So now I listen for that😀. Keep going.

Very interesting, two knowledgable and witty two people talking about great music, love it!

I have so enjoyed this podcast! It's a wonderful window into some highly influential records that influenced the whole genre. I love the depth with which they dive into the recordings, making sure to touch on every track, and the insights that you get from the interviews with the performers is just amazing. So glad to've found this and can't wait to hear more and more!

I’ve listened to all of the podcasts and learned something new on each one.

My major complaint as echoed by other reviewers is with the recording levels. I can barely hear Emma, except for the Punch Brothers where she’s had some cocktails prior to recording.

Fix that and it’s perfect.

Thanks Jerry Douglas for the recommendation!

Who would have thought a Brit and a Canadian could create such an entertaining and informative insight into this great music genre! It’s a fantastic way in for people like me who enjoy bluegrass but don’t know where to start, lots of great chat, knowledge and interviews, really easy to listen to, Emma’s brine and Patrick’s hog-fat have created a ‘salty dog’ gem of a podcast!

This is a great podcast for someone who is new to the nuances of bluegrass music. There are some very meaningful and in-depth conversations about some of the genre’s most influential albums. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because the audio mixing leaves something to be desired. It seems to me that the music clips are mixed much louder than the speaking, which can be annoying sometimes. As far as content is concerned, I love it and can’t wait for the next season!

Fantastic and informative podcast, ideal for people new to bluegrass and seasoned bluegrass fans alike. Lots of cool tid-bits from the artists themselves and really well researched historic context!

From a novice in bluegrass: an intro in conversational style that opens the door to an otherwise impenetrable genre of music for a Brit

Great podcast, love bluegrass music and I'm learning lots of new facts and stories about the history. Really good selection of albums and artists with good interviews! Subscribed

As a lifelong bluegrass lover, I was thrilled when I heard about the concept of this podcast. After listening to the first two episodes, I was extremely blown away! What Emma and Patrick have done is remarkable. Not only do they go in depth when talking about these records, but they’ve actually taken the time to interview people that were directly involved or connected so we can get their perspectives as well. Although I’ve heard most of the albums they’ve talked about thus far, I’ve always come... more

The interviews were fantastic in this episode. Thank you!

This is a great podcast, it has tons of interesting facts about each album, and historical and cultural analysis as well. Also interviews! Looking forward to more episodes.
