“Always fun. Always enlightening. Often inspiring. The knowledge and chemistry the hosts share is absolutely delightful. The Daft Punk mini series is nothing short of thrilling. It is timely, rich, thought provoking, and damned fun. A dense and chewy nugget of synth history and contextualization...”Read full review »

“I can’t take the vapid superficial analysis anymore. They failed to mention Chicago in a whole episode on house. They think daft punk wasn’t part of a whole synth and edm movement. They project text painting on every lyric like it’s a neurological tick. I want to shake them like a bad baby in the...”Read full review »

“I used to love this podcast, but lately they’ve been veering away from their astute analysis and toward what feels more like infomercials for new albums. They have artists on to describe their new albums which… maybe is fine for some listeners but it’s not what I’m here for. Bring back the OG...”Read full review »

Some of my favorite episodes take on historic topics that aren’t often highlighted by other shows.

“There are some stellar episodes of the podcast but anytime a unique artist pops up that is also a person of color they make me angry. With SZA they “can’t connect”. Tyler the Creator’s Igor, they don’t get it. Please find a host that isn’t white. The sound after morris code on SOS is a flare gun...”Read full review »

“Switched On Pop was one of the very first podcasts I began listening to regularly way back in 2015. An early episode on the history of The Star-Spangled Banner and its use at major sporting events caught my attention and, well, I’ve listened to nearly every single episode since then. Nate and...”Read full review »

“They need more queer and color in the room if they truly want to offer insight into pop. They conclude that Britney gives up full throated singing after Blackout—ahistorical!
