I thought Joe owed Kristen an apology for putting both her and us through a fake exercise when he'd already voted. Mean and dishonest
Earned 5 stars when Kristen said induct Björk
Updated APR 2026: the finest ballot/voting season episodes you’ve ever done. Thank you. Updated JAN 2023: You must never stop. Do not quit. It keeps getting better! My kind of music nerdery and insider intrigue. I’m hooked. Keep it up. The caliber of guests, including actual hall voters and nominating committee members, is impressive. Must-listen podcast about a mostly-unimportant industry nostalgia celebration. Who cares? I do! Why do I care? I don’t know!
Thanks for an insightful podcast. It is giving me an education
