The best culture podcast out there!!
I have been listening to this podcast for at least ten years and honestly don’t know what I’d do without it. I love how the 3 hosts have different sensibilities yet still have a ton of fun together and value each other’s opinions/ points of view. They talk about a wide variety of cultural topics, from the more high brow to the everyday. By now my partner knows when I say “Dana liked such and such movie” that I’m talking about a podcast host, not a friend. I am so grateful for this show and all of the amazing recommendations I’ve learned from them over the years. I discovered a few of my favorite bands (Vulfpeck, The Lucksmiths), movies (Home for the Holidays), and books (Neapolitan novels) via their and their listener recommendations.

I’ve been loving thinking along with these folks as a listener for ~10 years. The show’s given me lots to chew on and helped me sharpen my own analyses, even (or especially) when I quibble with one of the host’s takes (ok, it’s usually Steve’s ;). I’m so grateful that the hosts have kept at it...Read full review »
