“I absolutely love the NYT Popcast. It’s the only place you can find this level of analysis of this broad a range of genres, covering so much of popular music from hip hop and pop to country and emo. I find Jon Caramanica a charming and charismatic host and the guests are a really good, often female (yay!) mix of writers from the New York Times and elsewhere. I’ve learnt so much from listening and have devoured the archive. I even listen to episodes where I don’t actually like the band or genre they discuss.
FYI my joint first other favourite is In Our Time, which covers lots of topics in great detail and is a similar sort of pleasure for me: expert but entertaining discussion on a wise range of topics. Would listen to a Bragg/Caramanica crossover podcast.”
