“This is my favorite podcast; I look forward to it every week. Each week the hosts highlight some of their favorite new albums and talk through the contours and contexts of each album. I appreciate that the hosts limit their critiques/are not providing “reviews” of the albums. They mainly focus...”Read full review »

“The show radically changed after winding down 2023. Unrecognizable now. It seems like squarely targeting urban rap. Maybe that’s what they think is needed to survive and bring in new listeners. But, why not start a new pod instead of scuttling a reliable source for discovering all types of new...”Read full review »

“Ann powers is getting to be too much. The commentary is not only overpowering the music but half the time such a stupid comment just to hear herself speak. I don’t wanna listen to new comments by Ann Powers I wanna listen to new music”

“I have been listening for years and always looked forward to it. New format - Even though you are featuring just 4 artists I feel like I am hearing less music from those artists. All of your contributors are thoughtful and offer great insight but I am losing interest in listening and contributing...”Read full review »

“I liked the old format better. It was more fun, sampled and discussed more music, and had varying opinions from many different people/demographics. I’m not sure why it needed to be changed but I find myself no longer listening when before I loved waking up on Fridays.”

“This is a diluted version of the original show, with meandering chatter passed off as commentary—and very little music per minute. I’d be curious to hear a relaunch as if the producers were making a demo—and really needed a green light in order to pay the bills. Maybe then it would be tighter,...”Read full review »

“I really liked it much more the old way. The long discussions get stale fast. I’m sorry to say that after listening to New Music Friday regularly I’ve just listened to my last episode and I had to cut it short. Pretentious banter just isn’t my thing.”

“Due to increased the political bent I don’t listen as much as I used to. But, hey, it is on NPR so that is expected. I still find the program a great resource for new music/artists that I wouldn’t normally discover on my own.”

“I used to love this podcast, and would add 2-3 songs from New Music Friday to my library each week. One day I realized it had been over two years since I’ve connected with anything at all, and was listening solely out of habit. The music selection has sadly gone downhill, and I’ve since had to...”Read full review »

“Just listened to the latest New Music Friday podcast from NPR’s All Songs Considered.

The show seems to have shifted from...”Read full review »

“I love this show, and I’ve been a listener for years, but the commercial cut ins in the latest episode are little ridiculous.

“😭 😭 😭 (to Bob)
Bob Boilen is such an amazing influence on me and the Internet. He's set such a wonderful precedent of amazing humans at NPR Music and folks have taken that an ran with it. I love everyone on here even if it's not my cup of tea.
Keep up the amazing work!”Read full review »
