A Massive Disappointment
I heard about this podcast, just yesterday, on a different podcast (that’s as 2020s a sentence as I’ll ever write), and was really looking forward to it. Three episodes in, I find the host, Rob, to be absolutely insufferable. I was expecting a nostalgic deep dive into the songs and decade I love. What I got was a vanity project, with Rob melodramatically rambling on and on about his individual experiences. I presume “60 Songs” has gone for more than 90 episodes to allow him to talk more about himself. (The expectation that it would be 60 installments, a limited series, was also a draw.) A great idea for a podcast, a poor choice of host. Although it was probably his idea.

More reviews of 60 Songs That Explain the '90s
I started this podcast really late, but I love it. I grew up in the 90’s but had no idea about a lot of the information Rob talks about. We didn’t have the internet at the palm of our hands to have access to the information. I love it, I’m still trying to get caught up. I listen on my way to work.

I really wanted to like this-the title is right up my alley. However, 90% is pointless, off topic rambling. Really disappointed.

Sharp writing and brilliant delivery. Really fun charismatic perspective on the time, and as an age peer with the host, though my personal cultural references are a bit different, this all rings super truthy with how things were at the time. Fabulous !
