- Excellent podcast
Honestly I just freaking love the way Justine says the word episode. I listen for it every time.
But it’s seriously an excellent podcast that she puts so much time and effort into. I have learned a lot of things about several albums I thought I knew inside and out. It’s so cool to hear the backstory of albums I love like Lateralus, Dummy, and Elephant. Looking forward to many more!

United States4 years ago - New music episode
While I like hearing about the classic songs and albums from years past, I really enjoyed the episode on “great albums I just realized existed.” It was a fun mix of styles and a nice change of pace to hear some new music. I would love to hear more episodes like this occasionally.
Apple Podcasts5tito landrumUnited States5 years ago - Alice In Chains
Awesome ep on AIC. I just found this podcast and I’m really enjoying it. I’m on the Smashing Pumpkins ep now which is off to a great start. The spirit in the sky and take on me eps were great as well.
Apple Podcasts5RocthornyUnited States5 years ago - Spirit in the sky - awesome!
Really enjoyed this podcast. So fresh and fun!
Apple Podcasts5maryh1231United States5 years ago - Well researched but with a personal touch
I have learned so much about the making of bands and music through this series. It helps that I share many of her tastes, but I have deepened my appreciation of music I already liked and Justine has also introduced me to different bands that I now follow. I like how she invites guests to round out the back story or add an additional emotional reaction to the music.
Apple Podcasts5Nuff said about thatUnited States5 years ago - Learned a lot
I thought I knew a lot about this album, but this excellently researched review has taught me a lot more; notably the real reason why the Kinks were kicked out of the States.
I suspect the caster has paid insufficient attention to the 2 Preservation albums though. These are not easy, but are to my mind an update to the Village Green Preservation Society. Shepherds of the Nation, on Act 2, in particular gives an update on this special interest group, which is modern and thoroughly unpleasant.
Apple Podcasts4Beat me to this one then.
United Kingdom5 years ago - Love it!
Amazing each episode of this podcast can be researched and written in only one week, it’s very well done. Not to be locked into one or two musical genres, the host obviously cares about music spanning many decades, and covers them with love. Tight!
Apple Podcasts5Carve BoyUnited States6 years ago - The best “Behind the Music”
Thanks to Justine’s thorough research and obvious passion for all music, this podcast will open your eyes and ears to new music, as well as shine a new light on music you already love. So good!
Apple Podcasts5seanweenUnited States6 years ago - Death Cab episode was great
The episodes are so great. Every time I hear one it gives me new appreciation for songs or even whole albums that I’ve overlooked. The Death Cab episode was especially great, shout out DJ Pie
Apple Podcasts5Dbow34United States6 years ago - Episode 47!!!!!
Episode 47, covering The Carpenters, almost made me cry. I love how the host keeps it real, about what she likes or doesn’t like (Richard’s songs? Meh.) One of my new favorite podcasts.
Apple Podcasts5LrigyttiwUnited States6 years ago - Love love love
Most underrated and awesome music podcast out there! Such good musical diversity and attention to cultural context. Thanks so much for putting this out there!
Apple Podcasts5nat729388474United States6 years ago - Loving this
A lot of the content I consume in podcast form are sports podcasts that are out of date if you don’t listen to them right away. I’m always on the lookout for new podcasts that I can listen to anytime. Radio Ga Ga is a perfect evergreen podcast, teaching me more about things I already am interested in. Justine does a lot of research and gets me to think more about the music I’ve listened to for years.

Canada6 years ago - Intelligent, wonderful analysis
This podcast has given me so much joy as someone who has a passion for music and song writing. Justine is so bright, she researches the topics with a passion for understanding and accuracy, and she brings on great guests who have specialized knowledge. I have learned so many things from this podcast - I feel much more informed and can enjoy albums in new ways. It feels like the best balance of music clips and talking. Plus, Justine’s voice is extraordinarily pleasant and perfect for a podcast. S... more
Apple Podcasts5mountainmama1234United States6 years ago - A great listen
Justine puts a ton of work into these episodes and it shows. I love revisiting some of my fav records and songs through this show and always look forward to new episodes!
Apple Podcasts5kyleandrusCanada6 years ago - Great!
The RADIO GA GA Podcast, a great new addition to my weekly music podcasts. I’ve listened to the Jason Isbell - Southeastern and Arcade Fire - Suburbs episodes, both excellent. Learned a lot about 2 albums that I already love.
