  • Good podcast but misleading name

    Decent podcast, great host and good music but the name “world” is completely misleading as it only focuses on wealthy western nations in US, UK, Europe primarily. We desperately need a high quality world music podcast, somewhere, somehow hint hint;)

  • corny hosts

    the musical guests are great but sound stifled in conversation with the awkward/vanilla hosts, who have the least personality of anyone in podcasting. it’s occasionally funny to listen to their canned Q&A routine with artists but it’s mostly like listening to someone read you their music history homework at a party. just hard to listen to
