As a music nerd, I love how deep and emotional the guests get with these albums! The hosts are extremely funny and engaging. I discovered this podcast a year ago and it’s definitely one of the things that got me through the pandemic. 5 Stars!!!

Why does music make us feel things? An unanswerable question, but one that this podcast does an excellent and entertaining job of exploring. “This Particular Album” tries to understand the magic of music by having comedians and creative types come on to talk at length about their favorite albums...Read full review »

I just don’t have the time these days to analyze music with my friends. This podcast is a great substitute. The guests have even convinced me to appreciate artists I once overlooked. I’m a fan of any podcast that plays music in tandem with dialog, but this one is especially good. I also love...Read full review »

What a fun, simple idea, especially now when taking the time to listen to an entire album is not only possible, it feels cathartic.

This podcast hits me in all the feels. Bursts of nostalgia and learning about music I wasn’t particularly aware of through the lenses of a person who loves it. Perfect.

I really enjoyed this podcast! Our lovely hosts have great radio voices, and I really enjoyed how respectful they are of their guests and how they allow for a lot of room for everyone to speak and articulate what they want to say. I find a lot of podcasts have people talking over each other...Read full review »

A fantastic, gentle podcast in which your favorite LA podcast guests talk with two amiable and knowledgeable hosts about an album they love. Fun learning about some of my fave people through this lens, and I love the NPR-lite vibe.

Terrific host chemistry and since I’m near Joel’s age i identify strongly with many of his references (debras too). But more than the laughs, the emotions the music brings up to guests and hosts alike are really beautiful to listen to.

So great to hear some of my favorite funny people speak so sincerely to music that really moves them.

I love this show. Very well done.

Deborah is witty, intelligent, genuine and self deprecating....a great combination. She has an infectious laugh. Joel strikes a nice balance. This podcast is great.
JessKoala via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/02/19
That Deborah seems like a very nice lady.

Joel is one of my favorite Sentimental Ladies, so I thought I'd give it a shot, and have been listening ever since. It's great to hear how profoundly music affects people. UPDATE: The fact that Joel love(s)(d) Air Supply just upped the game for me.Read full review »

Being walked through an album, opening up to new and old--eclectic--musicians, and the hosts are super interviewers. Worthwhile to the max.

Great podcast with funny people that’s also poignant and meaningful. Two thumbs up.

A funny delight

This podcast really scratches an itch for me... fun people talking about great music it’s funny and sincere. I like hearing different people’s takes on the music that has affected them in their lives. Recommended!

Best music podcast! Such fun hosts and love the guests! So funny and delightful... I feel like I’m part of the conversation.
JabbaBabba721 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/20/18
Ideally, music podcasts present funny and/ or entertaining people talking about music in a way that is confessional. This one nails that formula perfectly. It is vulnerable and emotional but never forgets to be fun. I love it.
masterofsparks via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/18
Music is an incredible way to connect without people without even having to talk but I love hearing guests talk about why an album has touched them! Whether I connect to the music or not it gives me different perspectives on how music can factor into life. Love it.

I love this podcast already! I haven't listened to some of these albums in forever and it's great to hear them talk and reminisce. It's also nice to just laugh!Read full review »

Love this podcast so much! Joel and Deborah are great! The guests are so fun... love it even if I don’t know the album or singer! A must listen!

I love this podcast. It's a perfect example of how music, particularly an artist or an album, leaves an imprint on you at a certain time in your life (or multiple times in your life). The hosts and guests take you through their personal connections and stories associated with the album and...Read full review »

Love hearing guests dive deep into one album and really be forced to talk about their attachment to them.
ErwinGlobson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/22/18
It's exceedingly refreshing to hear people talk about music that they like without feeling any pressure to talk about music that'll make them sound cool, and the hosts do a great job leading the conversation. Plus, it's a killer guest lineup and a great excuse to revisit some albums I...Read full review »

This podcast is a really fun way to find new music or see music you know in a whole new light! The hosts are great!

I'm obsessed with this show. If you've ever had one of those late nights with friends after a few drinks, sitting in a living room discussing the important records in your life, you're going to love this immediately. Nothing is more entertaining than listening to someone talk about...Read full review »

I have been looking for a podcast that gets how important music is. So great seeing people touched by albums as much as I have been. Thank you!
Cube edit via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/18
Interesting podcast about music by a funny duo who love and appreciate music — they are not necessarily “audiophiles”...which is refreshing and fun! Great guests too. Enjoy!
HooRay-Chael via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/18
This podcast gives time and space to take a deeper look into songs and albums that mean something to someone else. Some of the music I never gave much time to before, but who doesn’t love second chances? The hosts, Deborah and Joel, are relatable and vulnerable which makes it all the better.
CourtB610 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/19/18
Funny people sincerely talking about the music that matters most to them is a great combination! This podcast is a wonderful mix of conversational (and even confessional) discussion of the album of the week, very fun guests, and great production and structure that keeps the whole thing moving...Read full review »
ferniecommaalex via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/18/18
Episode one sets the tone for a podcast that I believe is going to be a wonderful listen because the hosts create an open environment for the guests to share their personal responses to music they love. I’m not a musician yet love music and I’ve created a Spotify playlist dedicated to this...Read full review »

That may sound like hyperbole but so much of the music critic scene outside of theneedledrop feels so weighed down by pompous pretentiousness or just random fans screaming about their faves nonstop so crafting a podcast about personal favorites from people not part of that scene is wholly...Read full review »
