Love the show!
After listening to Apple Music Classical’s “The Story of Classical,” I wanted to find a podcast that breaks down and comments on classical music. I found this show and love it. As someone who played bass trombone in high school, I appreciate John’s insights from being a tuba player. I especially liked the Pini di Roma episode. It’s been one of my favorite pieces since seeing it in Fantasia 2000 as a kid (I had no idea Disney cut the second movement!) and later in high school when I saw the Fountain City Brass Band play the last movement. But, I had no idea what connection it had to actual pine trees of Rome, so it was great to learn about the back story and hear the kids’ song!

This is a fun version of classical “light,” unpretentious and informative, and a nice way to get access to music, composers, and musician of which I would never otherwise be aware.
