Far too many commercials to the amount of content. From the few I've heard so far, they just need a couple of more sentences added to each story/review on an episode! The facts are right but lacking a few major details in the ones I heard. They need to push it a bit more to 15-20 minutes and...Read full review »

I love the way Janda tells the story behind the classic rock songs!

Janda’s voice is as fake as her name. This podcast has great potential but I can’t take the voice of the host a minute longer. Good luck I’m gone

This podcast gives me a new perspective on familiar songs. The lives of musicians and the business of creating a hit song are both intertwined. Love the stories.

“I just discovered you Janda!” Your analysis of each songs lyrics is “absolutely splendid!” I enjoy the way you go line by line with the truth, or your take on the writers possible explanation. “American Pie” was very enlightening. Thanks.

Meh
Vapid rehash of gossip from old fan mags.

My sister and I loved the episode about Joan Jett. Neither of us knew even a fraction of the significance of the Bad Reputation lyrics until we tuned in. My music appreciation has grown thanks to this podcast. Thank you for creating a fantastic podcast!

Great podcast, as usual. I really love these. FYI, One was not played at Live Aid. You might be thinking of Bad.

Thank you Janda. I always look forward to your podcasts.
B'Town Hoosier via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/18/23
Wish they played just a little more of the song each episode. Will subscribe as soon as I figure out how. 🤔

As a 70s teenager, life was defined by all the rock music we listened to. Enjoying hearing the stories behind so many great songs from those years. Great podcast with great stories.

An interesting series, but the lack of music snippets totally defeats the purpose of this podcast
tiktokman via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/02/23
I love the great stories, overview of the lyrics, and super short format. Perfect length of time to enjoy the show while doing something less enjoyable, like folding laundry.

Just a lot of top soil stuff. Not good, not bad. Not surprising from a radio station.
RealTalkRyan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/12/23
Love It!

This is a lady who does her research and is skilled at delivering. You can also tell she loves what she does. Very entertaining. Don’t stop. You are building a legacy

Keep these coming! Love the background and details!
jrjbk via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/07/22
All I can say is do more. Love The background of the songs. A ton of things I never knew. Please keep it up

Over 100 episodes and the only artist of color in the whole stack is Dobie Gray? That’s kinda sad.
moondoggy02116 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/04/22
You can listen to a song and have your own meaning worked out but then you can hear the backstory and research that Janda has done for us and all of a sudden songs make a lot more sense. The podcast on Mr Tambourine Man, All Along the Watchtower and the episode on Smoke on The Water come to...Read full review »

Stumbled on to this great podcast, full of great trivia. Love the simplicity of it. Love this
musucliver via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/06/22
Excellent podcast for people who appreciate music & song writing. Very interesting stories and meanings of lyrics presented with a very pleasant voice. Well done!
BoizimDiXuxu via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/12/22
Only one bad thing…. I have been singing the lyrics all wrong😂
Joeyo013 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/11/22
Very informative and wonderful narration. I always look forward to the latest episode
Find The River via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/23/22
This podcast is quite interesting, and the narrator’s voice is very easy to listen to.
My Eloise via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/08/22
Love the show. Helps me appreciate the music I have been listening to for years.
Foxbody King via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/28/22
Love the songs and the storytelling! Great show.
qb1knob via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/04/22
Janda has a real gift for telling a story and her voice is money!!!
davegrz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/03/22
After hearing the backstory, I would enjoy hearing the song in its entirety without any talking over it.
MichachelGD via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/25/22
Great show. Very interesting and informative.

I love the deep dives. Highly addictive & I binged right through it!
Carolyn Chambers via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/15/21
Love the stories around the songs and artist.Very imformative

I had to Stop listening to this episode ,the in depth analysis was just reciting lyrics to one of DB’s best known songs
haloween jack via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/03/21
Ugh! Good songs, but that flat nasal staccato delivery make it unlistenable. Just terrible , which is a shame sine the songs are good. And omg when she reads a lyric...misplaced emphasis on words, no musicality at all
RNpink via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/18/21
Terrible. Just all kinds of awful. The narrator has horrendous vocal fry; she reads the song lyrics out — just, no. In general, it is like listening to someone reading from a Wikipedia article. There is no insight or interesting information about any of the music — only regurgitated facts easily...Read full review »

❤️each podcast is a gem 👍Then afterwards, When you hear each song again you remember all the new information you learned. The writing is really top notch. I feel like I am increasing my vocabulary as well.
cølleen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/15/21
In addition to the great song selection, the content within each podcast is informative and entertaining.
joijoi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/26/20
I love your podcasts on digging deeper into the lyrics of classics. Let’s hear about some female singer/song writers too. Heart, Joan Jett, and some many great singers from the 90’s...I am looking forward to it!
KelsBell67 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/22/20
Janda’s through research coupled with her keen intuition cuts these iconic songs to the bone. You’ll be sure to learn something you didn’t know or had never occurred to you to consider before. And you get to hear it all spoken to you in a voice that’s dark, like tinted glass yet beautiful and...Read full review »
Baseball1818 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/20/19
Love the concept of the show and getting the scoop of what the song writer really meant when writing the song. Which does periodically happen in this podcast. But when this narrator of this show periodically says things like “hazarding a guess” about what a lyric means, I kind of feel that...Read full review »
