“The concept sounds utterly pretentious but the outcome is fascinating and opened up a whole new way of listening to this album. Deeply grateful. The bum note is that the series overall appears to focus so overtly on hip hop, the US and, honestly, where are the women in this series? 12 series in...”Read full review »

I just found this podcast yesterday by chance and I can honestly say it’s within my top 3!! I started with MF Doom and I haven’t stopped listening. The depth of the songs, the artist, the albums!! It’s like I can feel the...”Read full review »

“Dazzling. Technical. Vulnerable even. Somehow you’ve made great music into an even deeper pleasure. It’s analysis that adds rather than flattens. Like others, the Reckoner episode brought tears to my eyes. Never imagined a podcast about an album could take me to so many places or hit me so hard....”Read full review »
