I It is fascinating to hear the artists talk about their music. I often wonder about their sources of inspiration and how they develop song ideas. This podcast does an excellent job of getting this information out of musicians. Emily Fox asks great questions, and KEXP features great artists,...Read full review »

Thank you so much for producing this incredible show! I was really moved by the different interviews and all the historical context you shared, especially about song codes, which have been utilized by oppressed communities across the globe. Would love to see KEXP make even more Palestinian...Read full review »

Thank you for such a thoughtful, touching, and inclusive dive into the current struggle for Palestinian rights and human rights around the world. Our communities need more narratives that bring people together around shared humanity, trauma, and collective action. This mini series struck the...Read full review »

One of my favourite music related podcasts. Always interesting, always entertaining, and always great music

I like that this podcast does both interviews and scripted episodes, and the music they use is weaves seamlessly into the episodes. I usually listen to podcasts on double speed, but I always slow down for this one.
wimow via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/22/23
I can’t recommend this podcast highly enough. The range of stories, the variety of reporters and interview styles, the bits of laughter and joy - all wrapped in actual learning about music - is amazing. Well- and thoughtfully produced. Even if you don’t think of yourself as loving music enough to...Read full review »

Helping us get to know people that are our musical heroes. And now with the oh-so-cannot-miss “SoTW” (you’ll need to listen to get the acronym definition). Special shout out to #333 “The World’s Most Strangest, Most Dangerous Occupation”

I had a really great time listening to this podcast. Leah has always put me onto really good music and constantly showing her passion for music in every conversation! She has 10/10 great taste and super entertaining and insightful :)

Fantastic choices in music! Wonderful interaction between Syd and announcer! Very pointed remarks and insightful discussions on the songs. Great descriptions on the meaning in the music!

I love how Sound and Vision blends essential conversations (like the ongoing impact of misogyny on the music industry) and light hearted interviews with both new and established music icons. Adding in a rotating cast of KEXP DJs makes Sound and Vision totally unique. Thanks Rachel!

Sound & Vision keeps us connected and makes us a little smarter, episode after informative episode. Emily Fox is a great host — sharp, with a voice that’s as musical as the bands she covers.

I usually listen live but the podcast is great for shows I miss - absolutely loved the Behind the Console series! Keep up the great work, always enjoy the in depth content and interviews - the Tori Amos interview was so incredible.

Artfully drawing back the curtain on the reality of music culture and production. The first time this show really caught my heart was the recent five part series on Filipino artists and their impact on Seattle’s hip hop scene. Today just started the highlight on women and nonbinary audio...Read full review »

Thank you so much for putting the work into these episodes. I really like the variety on the show and was super surprised by the summer of soul story! You’re doing a great job!

Love the storytelling coming out of KEXP! ❤️
rockymsmith via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/14/21
I am lucky to have KEXP on actual radio, so when I heard the hip hop segment (Saturday morning?), I wanted to hear it again, so here I am. It’s amazing how the history of music of my city gives depth to what now often looks like flatlands of gentrification.
markmark206 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/11/21
Dive in to find out the background, details, the how from the soundmakers. I have learned more from this podcast about music, political issues, and different points of view than i have heard anywhere else. Helps me see from someone else’s point, I will keep listening

Episode 94 is a great example of the thorough and talented journalism of Emily and the S&V team. Great job covering the topic of sexual abuse in the music industry and specifically, reviewing the events and actions that resulted in the demise of Burger Records. This podcast is a must listen.
PA Jeffu via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/24/20
Thorough reporting, and very informative. Love listening to this podcast. A must for any music fan.
matt bomarr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/20
Just listened to Emily’s interview with Josiah. I’m so thankful for her tact and tenderness with sensitive subjects like self work and addiction. I thought it was a seamless flow of spotlighting the music and the person making the music. Looking forward to more of these, jus subscribed now ✅

Emily hosts a diverse look into music topics that are interested to an audience beyond just the Seattle market. I love hearing unique points of view and topics I would not have thought of exploring. The music is also awesome. Thanks for producing such an entertaining show.

Always entertaining, educational, and an excellent reminder of just how important music and independent artists matter.

I've really enjoyed listening to KEXP's Sound and Vision. Emily and crew, bring a great set of diverse stories and I'm always surprised at how a story I may not be immediately drawn too can end up being my favorite part of the episode. It's been a great addition to my regular...Read full review »

The music, the stories, the heart, the quality! Where passion, philosophy, and professionalism converge. Emily, John, and all the KEXP contributors are absolute gifts to their listeners - as are the artists they shed light on!
Emra1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/20/20
Every week I learn something new about the music industry. Topics are interesting and timely. The listener questions at the end are always a highlight.

How can I explain? I stumbled upon the KEXP podcast, Music that Matters, a few years ago because I was just looking for some “good music”. The first episode I listened to was great. I would explore the on air programs and stream KEXP as the new soundtrack of my life. I also eventually booked my...Read full review »

KEXP makes it a priority to connect the community with music. This podcast is another example of how KEXP excels in this area. The stories in this podcast matter because a light is shined on issues that matter: artists trying to follow their passion, the intersection of activism and music and how...Read full review »

My love for KEXP continues to grow with the sound and vision podcast. I love it because it gives me access to the eclectic and interesting music stories I expect from KEXP, but on my own time.

S&V goes into many aspects of the music business, culture and other topics that shows what musicians deal with on a daily basis. The podcast also shows the difficulties the city of Seattle is facing in regards to keeping the music community vibrant and growing.
Ryancravens via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/12/19
I am loving this podcast. Captivating collection of eclectic stories about artists themselves, new releases, how music impacts people's lives in unexpected ways. A must listen for the music lover who wants to take their passion to a deeper apprreciaton.Read full review »

Really well produced and interesting angles on popular music. They go deep in unexpected ways. I didn’t think I’d be into this as much as I am.
Jamiealls via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/03/19
This podcast uplifts me by being informative, considered and compassionate towards the ways that music matters in a world that seems to have lost its way. Thank you KEXP for bringing your perspective to the podcast world.

I’m a long time early morning commuter and I would toggle back and forth between the Morning Show with John and Emily on KUOW for the news update. For a while now I cannot turn on the news without raising my blood pressure to an unsafe level and when I could tune into the news I was sad to not...Read full review »
