“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 »

“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”

““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.”

“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!”

“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 »

“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”

“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 »

“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 »

“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 »
