Have only been listening for the last 10 years or so. Always high quality. Always enjoy the fascinating background information. Thank you so much for all your time and effort.

This is history in sound, music. I started listening quite a few years ago and this is the only podcast that I am subscribed to, that I consistently listen to on a regular basis. Bryce, you have themes we can look forward to each year, such as musicians born in the year 100 years ago (1923) or...Read full review »

Blown away by this podcast and by Fuqua’s passion and knowledge. As a professional conductor who loves jazz and is exploring early blues this a dream. Many of his asides and afterthoughts are just as erudite as the main theme. It’s obvious he’s learned this with love and not just reading...Read full review »

This podcast is great. I love the commentary and the music. I’m exposed to music and artists I have never heard of and learn to enjoy. I also love learning things about the history of the music performers and history of music of this time period along the way.

I’ve been loyally listening at least 10 years and am still impressed by his passion and breadth of knowledge. All the music is before my time, but it has always somehow resonated with me. I like to imagine walking into a store or diner of the era and hearing it playing—I guess it IS timeless....Read full review »

Glad I discovered the show. I learn something every time.
Wet finger via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/25/23
Listening to each episode I learn about a new song, artist, group and influence on today's music. I've found many songs I like from present day artists originated from decades earlier. I've liked these songs from the early days of animated entertained and now appreciate some of the...Read full review »

So long running and so interesting, don’t even know when I found this but it’s just just a wonderful thing that I’ve recommended to many others. Thank you

Really enjoying learning about music history. This is my middle of the night reassuring podcast. It is so positive and relaxing I really appreciate your taking the time to make this. Thank you!

You do such a great job playing all my favorite music. I’ve been listening to your show for years and always enjoy it. There’s just a couple of artists I wish you would play. Lee Morse, Cliff Edwards, and Jeanne Burns (who wrote for Calloway and Rollini) Thanks for all you do!

I am utterly fascinated with this unique podcast
shannon rebekkah via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/11/22
This podcast program is everything to me!❤️ A wonderful collection of American Jazz & Ragtime from a century ago that is not simply “old music” but the anthem of an entire generation of Americans (our ancestors) who, like us today, danced, shouted, laughed, cried, flirted and partied to the...Read full review »

Thank you.
manolito castl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/09/22
I was just listening to your latest podcast, the one about flowers, and you mentioned that you'd rambled a bit on the two previous podcasts and apologized for those podcasts lasting longer than normal. I actually loved both of those podcasts – really, what makes your shows so fascinating is...Read full review »

I started listening when I became a truck driver in 2010. This show has been a wonderful way to fill many long hours on the road.

So grateful for this podcast. I’ve been a listener for years. Please keep it up. You are so loved!
susan kasey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/06/22
This podcast is awesome! It puts a pep in my step whenever I listen, and just makes me smile. I learn so much too, and as a millennial I learn so many great songs that are new to me! Many of the tunes covered here are the first recordings of songs that went on to be classics, and though my...Read full review »

This podcast has the indeed the ability to induce a sense of tranquility. Maybe because it transports me to a time when my parents had the radio playing in our home and music like this was still played on the stations they listened to. Whatever the reason, the music is terrific,the background...Read full review »

I have been listening to these podcasts for many years and never get tired of hearing the different selections A couple of times I heard songs that I heard my father sing but never knew anything about them until I heard the podcast Best wishes
homesick Aussie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/30/21
I’ve listened to every episode. It is marvellous: the history, the music, and Brice! It is the perfect podcast to put on while doing something else: cooking, sewing, etc. I love having it in the background. At Christmas and Halloween, I re-upload all the old episodes with those themes and the...Read full review »

Highly recommend! Very fun and informative to learn about music history! I found this podcast because of my professor (:
_Jessica_M_ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/17/21
höre ich die Musik von vor 100 Jahren, phantastisch. Die Ausdauer des Machers ist bemerkenswert. Die thematischen Inhalte je Folge sind eine gute Idee — hörenswert!!!!!!!!!!!
Leximaxi via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 03/06/21
A wonderful and informative show. It provides a much needed break from current events!
Love Carl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/22/20
This podcast is a goldmine of lost classics, every time! Mr. Fuqua is a wonderfully informed, easy going and enthusiastic host. What a joy!
Miltonthesinger via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/27/20
Love that the music featured spans all genres, blues, classical, swing, opera, folk music, country music - I’ve learned a lot.
Z. Lupetin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/24/20
This podcast is a breath of fresh air. Every time I listen, my spirits are lifted and I learn a lot! A great balance of music and background for each song - not too much, but really informative. I love it!

Perfect balance between music and speaking. It is interesting to learn about different eras of music, and the song selections are great!
Ashepar via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/01/19
I’ve become addicted to this podcast. It’s an informative & entertaining journey through American popular music from the 1st half of the 20th century. The host is masterful in his selection of tunes & offers interesting historical perspectives on all the music. Bravo!
William McElroy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/06/19
Listening to Fuqua’s commentary and then the tracks feels is like music hug. I have no other way to describe it. Simply the best.
KukiBee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/18/19
This guy really knows his stuff and has a humunguous library to choose from. I hear something new and learn something new several times each hour and only occasionaly listen to a piece I think wasn't worth airing. Do listen; you will not regret it.Read full review »

It’s a great podcast, just wish the episodes were longer.

Eclectic. Informative. Entertaining. What else does one need in a podcast? Oh - GREAT music. Well done, maestro.
jzmike via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/13/18
The only thing that I didn't like, and this is literally the only thing, was Brice's microphone hum in some of the very early episodes. I would have gladly bought him a new one. If he charged for this show I think he would have more listeners, because people take it for granted when a...Read full review »
