Learning about the story behind musicians enriches the enjoyment of their music. I like this reporting style. Hoping to see a comeback in 2024!

Just listened to the Neil Young podcast. It was full of rants from fans and artists about their thoughts on Neil Young, oh and a snippet with Richard Kingsmill. No back stories, a few songs played in the background and that’s it. Nobody cares what Joe Bloggs thinks about these artists. Multiple...Read full review »

Sum 41? Cribs? Riot grrrl? 80s alternative (Go-Betweens, Stems?) INTERPOL???? if any of these bands/movements broke in Australia I’d love to get the full gist.

... in an awesome way. If your mind is even remotely open to great tunes from any period, Caz Tran nails it every time. A must.

5/5
Unbelievably informative and insightful program about the process and experience of successful artists. None better than Phillipe Zdar.

Some of them not sure if it was even worth the effort, either too short or no substance. Sinead”s was superb, she’s amazing 10/10 Triple J

Thanks guys. Once again another great episode.

I love these but I want to listen to the full 2 hours not just 15 minute tasters
Heggsy123 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/20/20
would love the concept but not funny or informative. Great Satire has to come from some kind of appreciation. This is ignorant clickbait. Went into it with an open mind but it’s just not worth the one or two funny lines you might get to have to listen to two completely uniformed kids talk about...Read full review »

I love these but why are they listed as 2hrs but only go 20min? Am i missing something or in the wrong spot. Thanks for making these and i hope to one day extend my star rating...

Great podcast. I always wish they were longer and a bit more detailed. Blondie was an icon and the band influential. Whenever I hear Blondie I always go to the Ramones next.

Find your favorite band and dive in. The most exquisite nostalgia awaits.

Why is there no program about the little record shops around Sydney? Melbourne? Get for your arses!

Incredible insight and context on the greatest musicians of our time, all delivered with a typical Aussie humor and style. A great listen every week.

Always learn so much from the J Files! The depth of knowledge and access to artists is amazing. Love it.
Gemswah via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/15/19
This is not the J Files, I learn nothing except what fans think - who cares!
SB-76 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/06/18
I’m loving hearing from the artist in the last few episodes
niftywood via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/24/18
Would love to hear this week’s or last week’s but this podcast takes much longer to be uploaded than other J content. Great podcast but disappointingly slow.

Love the rap on music Don’t stop thr file count down
wjljtl via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/05/18
Love the idea and breadth of artists. But it feels like a radio show full of up next, coming very soon, and before that. It’s a podcast. The listener is in control. Looking at other reviews, a bit less foreshadowing and a bit more music (or artists talking.
Bunt68 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/17/17
Prefer the more recent format, but a few songs would be good in there. Love the historical archive interviews. Definitely learn something & often scribbling down artists to follow up afterwards!
Jenga02 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/05/17
One of my favourites. Great insights into some truely great bands. Some more episodes on seminal Aussie acts would be sweet as. Hint, hint. Masters Apprentices

Loving the J Files but missing the long version. The presenters enthusiasm is completely infectious. Favorite part is the material from the archives, so real gems there.
angusbarrey via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/29/17
Perfect podcast to listen to whilst driving to work in the morning because there is no go breakfast hosts anymore! Love the recent talking heads j file and all the variety on offer, keep up the good work!!

Love it. Would be excellent if there was a link to the songs you played on Spotify. Makes me want to listen to tunes
Boulexcs via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/25/17
If it was constructive criticism u were after I can not give it because I 100% love this program. Grate work team and thank you. This is the most informative and educational music program out there with out sounding pretentious or patterning patronising. Keep up the grate work.
Ralph the beater via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/23/17
Loving the J Files! Been just scolled through the archives and likeing what I see and hear. Would be great to hear a Gorillaz episode in light of their upcoming album. Keen to next weeks Talking Heads episode!

Loving all the content from early millennia, especially The Shins episode. I fell in love with Garden State and the Shins simultaneously along with thousands of others. Nostalgia central of my formative teen years. Thinking a Panda Bear ep in honour of Person Pitch's 10th anniversary could go...Read full review »

I love that a lot of the interviews and music takes me back to my teenage years. Great bands, great music and great interviews 👍
DustyElizabeth via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/21/17
What a great thing. I love podcasts that go back in time so to have one for music given I love old and new music, it's brilliant. Keep it up.Read full review »

This is a great podcast for learning about your favorite band or learning about a new band
Rich the Baker via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/11/17
I used to love the J Files Podcast (I still do) but the new format with no music at all is really missing something! Yes, it was frustrating that the previous format only had brief music clips but it was better than nothing. By at least being able to hear 20 or 30 seconds of a song it really...Read full review »

The episodes are like a minute. Am I missing something
El Mentado Don Jose via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/23/16
J-Files are an institution. But playing with only very brief song snippets really spoils it. Probably some licensing reasons I assume, but it makes the experience poor, especially when not familiar with the bands.
MF_____ via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/28/15
So this would be a great podcast but the music clips are cut waaay too short. I'm not sure if it's licensing or time restrictions but if it is for time could I suggest editing the live dj part, reading tweets etc instead of not playing whole songs.Read full review »
