“When the Popcast exposes you to new music and the social context of music, it succeeds wonderfully. But the ratio of actual music played to comments made by the hosts in a strenuous effort to sound cool is increasingly lopsided towards the latter. On one of the most recent episodes (“The Return of New York Rap”), there weren’t any samples of the songs the hosts were discussing until 25:53. It’s moments like these where the Brooklynite hipsterism of the program risks leaving behind listeners who may not have a great deal of exposure to an artist or genre. (“Haven’t heard of X artist? Do you even know what bars are, bruh?” as host Jon Caramanica might say, like a parent trying just a little too hard to sound cool.) That’s unfortunate, because this show has the potential to make music more accessible to a broad audience but often doesn’t. More sampling, interviews, and accompanying show notes would help it fulfill that promise.”

“I recommend NPR's All Songs Considered. It's more in-depth, explores more artists and just has a better "feel" to it.”Read full review »
