“I like all of the concepts for each episode but the stories are so poorly executed that it’s hard to follow. For the Stevie Wonder podcast, how do they end up spending 90% of the episode gassing Stevie up instead of discussing actual facts/ historic influences? Seems the host is obsessed with how...”Read full review »

“I started listening because of Joy Division. The host has a great voice, is very professional, and has scoured to world of music from this very special time. So many music genres were born in 1980 and he weaves a great story around each of them. Many are not my style, but its all fascinating.”

“Each episode is smart, witty, entertaining and educational. The podcasters clearly love music and history and take such care in telling individual’s stories. I am so grateful to have been introduced to the legacy of Aisha Ali and have learned so much from all the other episodes too.”

“I love the idea of this podcast. I detest the execution.
I was very much interested in the Grace Jones episode as those post-disco years bring back wonderful memories. But the narrator's voice, together with the (at times) unnecessary granularity with which he tells the story, made me lose...”Read full review »

“Episode on Ian Curtis... have been waiting forever to listen to it because I have been afraid it may not have been done with the reverence I believe it deserves. However it was done with that and more. My life from the 80s and beyond was filled with Ian Curtis and joy division. Then 10 years ago...”Read full review »

“It’s impossible to extract Joy Divison and Ian Curtis from the mythic sentimentality that’s been cultivated since Ian’s tragic demise in 1980. I, like many of my generation, were drawn to Joy Division and New Order because at their core, they reflected a commonality of their roots. Blue collar,...”Read full review »

I listened last year and was so sad when the season came to an end; I stayed subscribed in hopes there would be a season 2. So...”Read full review »

“I believe women, I trust women and I support women, but the John Fahey episode felt like a fishing expedition or a takedown. I do not doubt these stories and whether or not they caused lasting hurt to the women involved, but to me the stories are the stories of human relationships that are messy...”Read full review »

“I really enjoy your podcast. I loved punk as a teenager. It echoed the anger and disgust I felt in the 80’s. I still played my music around my kids when they were small. After little voices rang out from the back seat of my car asking why I played cussing music and why it was so loud, I learned...”Read full review »
