Inspiring, fascinating and real
This show makes me love music the way I did as a young kid who just started reading about it. When I’m depressed it’s one of those things that lifts my spirits immensely, because it’s such an effective love letter to my favorite art medium that reminds me how much there is to appreciate in human culture. Many music docs glorify musicians as Gods amongst men, but this podcast tries to get at the truth and beauty without papering over many ugly realities. It is not just about the music and musicians but what it means in the context of the whole broader culture.

I learn so much from every episode. This week I expected to learn about the Coasters, and was surprised to learn that Leiber and Stoller wrote for more than just R&B and rock and roll artists. I have also been enjoying reading volume one of the book version of the podcast.
