  • Missing Perspectives

    Listened first to the history of jazz episode - all men being interviewed, and all men featured on the 10 songs. Seriously? Such a missed opportunity to reflect the diversity of the genre.

  • Jeez...what am I missing?

    Man, from all the 5 star reviews you'd think this was "A History of Rock in 500 songs" quality...but no. It's fast talking jive from an Instagramer. I'll stick to HRI500S for my music history.
