“Big OME fan for years, just diving into all his different podcasts this year. Each season of WHHW is an incredibly engaging story, a beautiful love note to the genre. OME is truly compiling an honest and encompassing verbal history of hip hop.”

“Unlike most people in my generation who can’t seem to shut up about what podcast they’re listening to, I don’t listen to podcasts at all, mainly because there’s so much new music coming out all the time, that staying on top of it, and putting aside some time to dive back into old favorites,...”Read full review »

“A masterclass in how to do a biography podcast giving the artists the space for their own voice where both the interviewer and the interviewee are fully immersed in the culture. Simply put, dope.”

“Open Mike Eagle is a great rapper in his own right. My friend told me last week about this series he did with Quest Love (season 4), and I plowed through that whole season, savoring every moment. I’m now on season 1, thoroughly enjoying these interviews with The Great Prince Paul. There are some...”Read full review »

“This is just an outstanding podcast. If you like interviews it doesn’t get any better than this but if you grew up in the 80s or 90s listening to hip hop then this is just paradise. Open Mike Eagle is everything you want in a host: he has a palpable enthusiasm for his subjects; he asks...”Read full review »

“I’m in this “random” music group chat and one of the members said Quest was hating on Dilla without context (for which he later apologized lol), as he proceeded to send the link to this pod. As a Philly native, there’s so much I didn’t know about not only the Roots but many of the people that...”Read full review »

“Not since Combat Jack has there been a podcast I’ve enjoyed this much. Open Mike Eagle combines my two podcast types: interviewing and chronological/historical storytelling. Unlike a lot of hip-hop podcasts, he’s VERY good at keeping his guests on target, while allowing the deviations and just...”Read full review »

“If you’re curious about 90s rap, or need to reminisce about “back in the day,” then WHHW podcast is for you! This Open Mike Eagle hosted podcast gives you behind-the-scenes stories from Prince Paul, El-P, and Dante Ross about some of your favorite old school hip hop artists and albums.”
