“Jon Caramanica has a nice radio voice, but I find his personality profoundly grating (grating enough that I felt the need to review this podcast). His “sense of humor” is so smirky and self-satisfied and his use of hip-hop vernacular is extremely labored as he desperately tries to prove to his listeners and guests how clever and hip he is. He sometimes has good insights, so I imagine he is a good writer, but listening to Caramanica is annoying on a good day and exhausting on a bad one. The Times’ chief music critic Jon Pareles is great, but he is rarely on the show these days.”
