“I feel Emil has definitely created something special here… I came for the story but soon was pulled into the music history, theory and obscure artist I’ve never herd, it’s a delight to say the least.”

“My friends and I all missed you, so great to hear new podcasts in 2022.
Love the format, great autobiography tales on odd numbered shows, and fabulous DJing with music history each even numbered show. You’ve expanded my musical universe.”

“Emil has created an unparalleled audio experience that cuts deeper than other podcasts. It’s so personal that sometimes you think you’re reading someone’s diary, but the music woven throughout helps guide you to place where you end up looking back at yourself.”

“Perfect arc. Told brilliantly. Most of us know these characters. Emil guides us in such a patient way towards a finish in which we are greater, grown, good people. Speaking about music as an all around holistic means and the craft of music as a form of therapy. I have been entranced for all of...”Read full review »

“Thank you for this. Polvo has been my favorite band for decades. It is its own language. Libraness, as well. It was like having a secret; I knew who had the best voice, guitar technique, tone, production und ungodly clever songwriting skills. No one ever heard of them. If they did, wouldn’t get...”Read full review »

“This is my favorite podcast out there. It’s so well crafted. Emil’s sentence structures are so precise you think they must have been written and rewritten, edited and polished, but he manages to sound like he’s just talking to you personally. The content of his stories, along with distilled...”Read full review »

“There isn’t a way to review something this revolutionary. There is great depth here. I love the episodes “The Outsider,” “Rare Soundtracks,” “What Happens To A Guru,” “Satan Seller,” and many others. Who else makes music or tells stories like Emil?? No one.”

“Emil really connects with his audience. The more I listen I feel like Emil is in my head sometimes. His in depth thought & explanation is worthy of a college course. He breaks down outsider music so well & his personal coming of age stories are 2nd to none. Treat yourself! Cheers🌟”

“Truly one of the only podcasts that I go back and listen to episodes again, just because I enjoyed the content so much.
I was in High School and University in the early 90’s and Emil’s reflections on those times are relatable and compelling. Bittersweet pre-internet memories of the dig for...”Read full review »

“Really interesting and entertaining Podcast about (weird) underground music and life itself.
Most of the time it's more like a radio show where Emil Amos shares his passion for music and anecdotes of his life than a traditional podcast.
Also stellar sounding with an ear for detail, you...”Read full review »

“This podcast is an amazing mix of rock/punk/outsider culture through the lense of someone who lived it. Great stories of personal triumph and growth along side troubling tales that challenge ones own understanding. Emil is a gift to us all, a true musician in an age of flimsy pretenders.”
