“the musical guests are great but sound stifled in conversation with the awkward/vanilla hosts, who have the least personality of anyone in podcasting. it’s occasionally funny to listen to their canned Q&A routine with artists but it’s mostly like listening to someone read you their music...”Read full review »

“The podcast guests that are interviewed as well as the content of the questions and the great music these guests share with the audience are top-notch. The only suggestion I have is that Raina back-off on identifying herself every few minutes of her interviews. Not sure if she’s not aware of...”Read full review »

“Short cuts of songs =👎
Unable to view whom is host each episode = 👎 (love David, not so much of a talia fan)

“This was well done. Delicate questions for a delicate soul. I felt like he may be a closet opera singer, and I adore opera. (His temperament I’m referring to.) This interview was relaxing and special thanks to the host and the guest. Thank you.”

“This is the only music podcast where I feel like I'm actually learning something about music as I go along and it exposes me to artists I never would have heard of otherwise. Highly recommended”Read full review »

“World Cafe provides an informative and introspective view on current and past artists. Interviews with Sting, John Mayer and Steve Jones (Sex Pistols) have been insightful and given me a different and broader perspective on these artists.”

“Love this podcast. I'm sure the reason why all the sessions recorded for the show can't be podcast is related to music rights issues, as is the fact that only partial songs are used. That being said, overall this podcast is great. World Cafe is a gem.”Read full review »

“I've supported David Dye and WXPN in Philly for years. Went to shows there in the old and new studio, concerts, etc. and always enjoyed the programming. However, this podcast does not keep up with what's happening on World Cafe'. If you want to promote your podcast as one with new...”Read full review »

He has some great guests from a wide variety of musical genres and the sessions are relaxed and intimate sounding. Definitely worth tuning...”Read full review »

“All these comments about the 30 second excerpts must be an old issue.

Wow ... greatest non-news NPR show of all time.
If only more affiliates would embrace music from this century ... it does'nt always...”Read full review »

Please put it all there, cancel this mess, or charge for the full show if that's what it will take.
30 seconds of a song is a waste of time.”Read full review »

The interviews are moderately interesting, but not enough to make up for the frustration of cutting off the music.”Read full review »

“This show is utterly maddening. They have edited all of the life out of the show for the podcast. Instead of live performances of songs, you get a frustrating 30 second snippet, followed by a fadeout. I'm assuming it's for copyright reasons, but for whatever reason, it makes for terrible...”Read full review »
