Interesting topics and guests, but Caramanica is the worst
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.

If you love music and charts this is a fantastic podcast. Great analysis into everything from pop to hip hop to k pop to streaming and everything in between.

Introspective conversations about rap music with people who know the genre but also the broader cultural contexts in which the music is made. Breathtaking and interesting from start to finish.

Every week, Pareles sounds like he's talking to us from inside a cardboard box. All other reviewers sound natural. Please remove the cardboard box from Jon Pareles' head.Read full review »
