Oh noes!!

Sorry you have to give this up but thanks for all you’ve done. I’ve enjoyed them immensely. Hope you can come back someday.

The best music podcast!

Hands down the best music podcast for anyone interested in the history of popular music. If I could give it 10 stars I would. It gets all the stars. Thank you Nate for making this.

Astonishing devotion to music

The people who do this podcast must do nothing all day but prepare for these interviews. It is absolutely routine to hear a guest who has written a book on a subject express surprise and even apology when the main host knows their book better than they do! I am hooked on this show.
