The poor reviews are unwarranted

“No, I don’t agree with all of the opinions expressed by the team (a somewhat revolving team) but I very much appreciate what they are doing. It is difficult to stick with a podcast past the first year and they have done that and more. And their enthusiasm level remains high. I also appreciate the perspective of the team members who are musicians.
The podcast does lose points because of intermittent insufficient or selective research. For example the episode on Happy Trails missed the boat on “why” the disc is important as well as failing to examine the status of John Cipollina as a major influence on guitarists between 1968-75. They did a lousy job on Sandy Denny and Richard Thompson during the Fairport Convention discs, but surprised me with the overall excellent calibre of analyses for Unhalfbricking & Liege and Lief. The team was very short of knowledge regarding the particularly British aspect of Piper at the Gates of Dawn, as well as with Nick Drake’s discs.
On the other hand I found their discussion of the John Barleycorn album quite refreshing. You know, it is a pretty boring disc. They are also correct in criticising Tony Iommi’s unimaginative leads while lauding the overall power of his riffs. I guess what I like best is how the team is not entirely predictable. An example is when the Forever Changes came up. I was worried, but they did a fantastic job. Hard to believe the band Love is not in the R&RHOF, esp given Love was a multiracial band in 1966-67. Those rumours about Jan Wenner’s enmity are probably true.”

“Great and insightful conversation on a plethora of iconic albums. The audio quality bugs me a bit, but the content trumps the production quality! Solid podcast for ANY music lover.”
