Too indie!
I had hoped that I would discover new music from all genres by listening to it, and some of the interviews are top notch (The Beatles "Love" interview comes to mind) but this podcast is too focused on Indie and other associated mellow subgenres. This is probably because indie artists are more willing to have their music on other people's podcasts (as opposed to major labels who are too worried about filesharing). I'm just sick of sitting down to listen and hearing a band I don't recognize play a mellow unremarkable song. I disagree with the fact that indie music is developing more than other genres at the moment - I just think it currently has the attention of the art/hipster crowd who puts together pocasts like this. Please, Bob Boilen, play some better-known artists instead of the small self-praising circle of groups and musicians you currently exhibit.Read full review »

If I could only listen to one podcast this would be the one. All Songs Considered has introduced me to great music and the passion of the NPR team for music is infectious.

A.S.C. plays a great variety of new and undiscovered music, or maybe it's just stuff not heard every 15 minutes on Top 40 programmes. Either way, you will probably hear something you like, maybe love, and happpiness ensues.Read full review »
