“This is my favourite podcast, the team are witty and easy to listen to. They demonstrate their diverse wealth of music knowledge whilst also geeking out as fans and having fun. I also love that I get to understand and expand my taste in music, to genres and artists I would never think to listen to.”

“I respect all of the journalists at Rolling Stone, but I listened to the first 5 on Taylor Swift an bailed out. We are 40somethings…when I heard “Fortnight” I had my first stroke and sent it to my husband and asked him to just listen and tell me his thoughts. He thought it was Lana, I said no,...”Read full review »

“I have been listening to this podcast for many years. The interviews (generally) go deep in the weeds and provide great insights about artists I love and admire. However, like most things in America The Rolling Stones Music Now ignores the contributions of black women in music. In the last...”Read full review »

“This is the first negative podcast review I've ever left. Normally if I don't like a podcast, I just don't listen and move on. The thing is, I WANT to listen to this podcast, but I can't because of how grossly overedited this is. I jumped in on the Steve Howe episode, and while...”Read full review »

“An astounding knowledge they of contemporary pop…musicians? I just don’t think it’s information I need to know.

“I see comments from a year ago to “please fix the sound, so choppy,” and in listening to my first episode (40th Anniversary of Born in the USA), I have the same complaint. Sounds awful. I couldn’t get through it. Terribly disrespectful to the people being interviewed, and to the simplicity and...”Read full review »

“Couldn’t handle Roger Waters, so did a hit on him prior to the interview.
Another couple of self righteous balloon heads who’s have not fully developed or expanded their thinking… they deserve the world they live in.

“I come here all the time just to hear their takes on what’s going on in pop music, but the Taylor Swift episodes with Brian, Brittany, and Rob are my favorite! They have such an extensive knowledge of Taylor lore it makes the deep dive really informative and funny!”

“Please never ever stop making episodes about Taylor—Brian, Brittany, and Rob are the ultimate Taylor authorities to me and no one else is able to place her as well in the greater context of music history. Love love love the Taylor episodes, it is not possible to make too many of them!”

“How many podcasts do we have to listen to about people taking Taylor Swift seriously? It’s a fart in a dust storm. Anytime you’re dissecting lyrics to learn about which guy the song is about, then it’s time to reevaluate.”

“Definitely not feeling the episode on Rich Men North of Richmond. Y’all are trying so hard to say that MAGA is behind the song’s popularity without owning the fact that you’re saying it. Give the man, and his song the deserved props. It’s a populist anthem that resonates across demographics...”Read full review »

“Your research is really poor but typical of American journalism. Heads up! USA is not the world just a small(minded) part of this great planet! Band that don’t make it in America (appeals to the bland American music taste) doesn’t mean their not good or successful. Peer outside your bubble RSM”
