“I tried so hard to get into this. It’s a great idea and I was really hoping to expand my appreciation of some of these albums that I’ve never really connected with before. But that would require some well researched background on the music in question, plus some insightful music analysis, and that’s not really what this podcast is about. This is about John Adam Meyers’ giant ego. I understand he’s a comedian, and I suppose there are some people who listen because they think he’s funny, in which case, this is the perfect podcast for them! But the rest of us came to learn about the music, not who the host did blow with one night 15 years ago.
Some episodes are more successful than others, depending on the knowledge and seriousness of the guest. But any valuable insight provided is despite, not because of, the host.
The ratio of off-topic, self-indulgent, ego-driven prattle to thoughtful discussion about the actual album is WAY too high for me.
Can someone who is more serious minded, focused and willing to do their homework please take a run at this concept? A lot of us would really benefit from a version of this done correctly.”
