“An astounding knowledge they of contemporary pop…musicians? I just don’t think it’s information I need to know.
Back in the day RS was for the olds now it’s for duh brats. For me it’s a cringe-fest
like reading someone diary. Ick!”

“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.
They should have effed off to the bar!”

“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!”

“Love the depth of knowledge the hosts and guests bring to every conversation. It’s more than just surface level commentary but truly putting each song or album in context of music history that makes me appreciate the work even more.”

“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.”

“If you don’t notice a few key episodes of this podcast, you might be impressed. The main host Brian Hiatt is a skilled, well researched interviewer who, while he favors the softball question, also has an unusual level of ability to appear sincere and thoughtful rather than merely buttering up the...”Read full review »

“I appreciate music discussion but i can’t stand the recent diatribes for sections of the Jason Aldean and Oliver Anthony discussions. Americans love Americana music from time to time and they shouldn’t be mocked for it.”

“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 »

As much as I was captivated about the truths of Sinead’s life and art, I marveled at Manson’s expression. Brilliant. But then, to...”Read full review »

“Man, are they using some kind of software to cut pauses or gaps or a noise gate of some kind? It’s really jarring. Overlaps and cutoffs make it really hard to listen to. It’s great info but really tough to listen to. Smooth it out please.”

“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”

“I just really wish this podcast utilized someone adept in natural sounding editing, it’s really annoying to be taken out of the conversation with quick robotic level changes and weird speech transitions.
