Honestly I just freaking love the way Justine says the word episode. I listen for it every time. But it’s seriously an excellent podcast that she puts so much time and effort into. I have learned a lot of things about several albums I thought I knew inside and out. It’s so cool to hear the...Read full review »

While I like hearing about the classic songs and albums from years past, I really enjoyed the episode on “great albums I just realized existed.” It was a fun mix of styles and a nice change of pace to hear some new music. I would love to hear more episodes like this occasionally.

Awesome ep on AIC. I just found this podcast and I’m really enjoying it. I’m on the Smashing Pumpkins ep now which is off to a great start. The spirit in the sky and take on me eps were great as well.

Really enjoyed this podcast. So fresh and fun!

I have learned so much about the making of bands and music through this series. It helps that I share many of her tastes, but I have deepened my appreciation of music I already liked and Justine has also introduced me to different bands that I now follow. I like how she invites guests to round...Read full review »
Nuff said about that via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/02/20
I thought I knew a lot about this album, but this excellently researched review has taught me a lot more; notably the real reason why the Kinks were kicked out of the States. I suspect the caster has paid insufficient attention to the 2 Preservation albums though. These are not easy, but are to...Read full review »
Beat me to this one then. via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/25/20
Amazing each episode of this podcast can be researched and written in only one week, it’s very well done. Not to be locked into one or two musical genres, the host obviously cares about music spanning many decades, and covers them with love. Tight!

Thanks to Justine’s thorough research and obvious passion for all music, this podcast will open your eyes and ears to new music, as well as shine a new light on music you already love. So good!

The episodes are so great. Every time I hear one it gives me new appreciation for songs or even whole albums that I’ve overlooked. The Death Cab episode was especially great, shout out DJ Pie

Episode 47, covering The Carpenters, almost made me cry. I love how the host keeps it real, about what she likes or doesn’t like (Richard’s songs? Meh.) One of my new favorite podcasts.

Most underrated and awesome music podcast out there! Such good musical diversity and attention to cultural context. Thanks so much for putting this out there!

A lot of the content I consume in podcast form are sports podcasts that are out of date if you don’t listen to them right away. I’m always on the lookout for new podcasts that I can listen to anytime. Radio Ga Ga is a perfect evergreen podcast, teaching me more about things I already am...Read full review »

This podcast has given me so much joy as someone who has a passion for music and song writing. Justine is so bright, she researches the topics with a passion for understanding and accuracy, and she brings on great guests who have specialized knowledge. I have learned so many things from this...Read full review »

Justine puts a ton of work into these episodes and it shows. I love revisiting some of my fav records and songs through this show and always look forward to new episodes!

The RADIO GA GA Podcast, a great new addition to my weekly music podcasts. I’ve listened to the Jason Isbell - Southeastern and Arcade Fire - Suburbs episodes, both excellent. Learned a lot about 2 albums that I already love.
mule1373 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/04/19
In short, this is the kind of music content I crave. It's informative, opinionated, and it bridges that gap between the emotional connections we make to music, and the academic side of writing, recording, etc. Even the albums I thought I knew a lot about I end up coming out with a new...Read full review »

Great albums with a wide range. Great production without being over-produced. She clearly puts a lot of time and effort into this podcast.
Kris Colvin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/07/19
Such a great listen! I’ve enjoyed learning about new bands, albums and even instruments I’ve never known much about before. Justine does a great job researching and providing such insight to the albums and songs reviewed. Great guests to bring in unique views and commentary take it to another...Read full review »

Just started listening to your podcast. It’s great! Looking forward to the first Queen album review. Keep up the great work. David from New Zealand
David Turnhout via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 04/09/19
For the music fan who still appreciates the "album," this is a great podcast to take in and dissect track listings, song structures, and the lyrics from your favorite artists. Just listened to Episode 23: Coldplay, "Parachutes" and really enjoyed hearing about the chord change at...Read full review »

This is such a great podcast for any music lover - whether you’re really knowledgeable about these bands or you’ve never heard of them, you will be sure to learn something. So much of my music library has been expanded because of this podcast.
LJanuz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/19
Love finding this. Love finding out more on the backdrop of what was going on when these albums were being produced. I never feel like I’m a corporate and family hostage but this pod has realised I need more music in my life. Thanks. Rolling off the links to sit around with a good coffee and...Read full review »

I absolutely LOVE Radio Gaga podcast. I have always had an appreciation for music, but the depth of knowledge that Justine brings to the table is next level. Her passion for all genres and her genuine interest in diving deep into the why and how of an album, is tantalizing to say the least! I’ll...Read full review »

Aja by far is my favorite album ever. This helps my admire it that much more. I knew of some of the backstory of the band and this album. Thanks for diving in deep on this classic. Not everyone loves Steely Dan but they have appreciate this album. Appreciate this podcast more and more...Read full review »

If you told me I would listen to a 90min podcast at 1x speed, I would have said you were nuts. But, that’s what I find myself doing with this pod when the host and her guests deep-dive into each track of the album being discussed. The way Justine engages with her guests and really explore their...Read full review »

OMG I knew backmasking was a thing. But I never realized how creepy it actually was. This episode was the perfect look into how it all mysteriously works together. Loving the episodes so far!!

Track-by-track analysis provides new insight to the songs you love while providing an impetus to re-examine the songs you may have previously skipped. The Postal Service episode was an express train right back to high school!

I've been stuck in this sports podcast rut for a year. I'm turning into a modern day version of my father, suffering flashbacks to those long, hot car rides where he refused to use air conditioning and broke a knob off his radio so it could only access his A.M. sports talk. So discovering...Read full review »
JMelko1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/12/18
I loved this podcast and all the fun facts about the history of Fleetwood Mac! I first heard Never Going Back Again in a Chipotle and have been obsessed ever since! So excited to hear more episodes! I also love TDR so it was fun to hear Kelly’s take on the album!
StephanieRDean via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/02/18
Justine’s angelic voice + her passion for music and how it’s made = a great listen! So informative, interesting, and entertaining. Can’t wait for more!
stephohnie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/18
There’s not a ton of intelligent, entertaining podcasts that take an in-depth dive into the music world. So glad Justine started this. Really looking forward to hear more from this podcast!
Ry3333333333 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/18
The highest compliment I can give this podcast is that it's so good and interesting that I listened to it on 1x speed versus my standard 2x. Can’t wait for the next episode.Read full review »

The background anecdotes about the making of the album is great!! Good research.
1braden1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/18
Love everything about this. A great way to learn more about each album.
mick fleetwood via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/18
Justine is one of the brightest and most motivated people that I know. Can’t wait to learn a lot more about music and laugh along the way
Csolomon1515 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/31/18
This is the in depth kind look into albums I’ve been looking for! I love it!
