Errata: I mispronounce Ed Chalpin’s name as Halpin for most of the episode. And towards the end I say “January the 28th 1969” when I meant 1970

Kundenrezensionen
Brilliant
A fabulous podcast. A one for the ages. One of the very few music podcasts that seem to be really well researched. A great piece of work.
A very interesting series - and a problematic issue…
For its content on musical matters, this series is most welcome and would in my opinion deserve a five star review.
Alas, I am only able to give it three stars, as Mr. Hickey seems unable or unwilling to refrain from ruining the listening experience by inserting all kinds of “warnings”.
As a listener, you get treated as if you were a child. This is more than annoying,especially as the factual content of his series is most enlightening and full of facts one really wants to know.
To me, such denegrating behaviour seems be a sign of the times we are living in, and one can only hope that these times will change so that this kind of talking down to listeners will not be considered necessary any more.
Such criticism aside, I shall continue to listen to Mr. Hickey’s content, though I would strongly recommend that he feel encouraged to treat his listeners as adults.
Great facts meet strange attitude
The information in this series is very well researched and as a fan of rock, blues, soul, pop & country music etc., the podcast is recommended. So it’s very sad that there are 2 things which are really annoying… 1. Hickey's fake deepened slo-mo voice, with which he tries to emulate the cliché of an old blues musician. Honestly I find this borderline racist and quite inappropriate. Especially if you know his true (much higher pitched and faster) speaking voice from interviews etc. Let alone that this mannerism spoils the fun of listening as it completely unnecessarily roughly doubles the duration of each episode. 2. Hickey's pushes his political correctness statements to absurdity, making them sound rather like parody than serious concerns. His overlong & overcautious disclaimers before and in almost every single episode are aiming at every imaginable topic, no matter how harmless to the reasonable-minded listener. Those overblown statements often even backfire and are mostly very cringeworthy + totally misplaced. And I DON’T mean him pointing out the racist reality of the earl decades of pop music and things like that. This I find very important to mention of course! It’s hard to describe here in short, but since I recommend his podcast for its good factual content anyway, just listen for yourself, you certainly won’t miss out on what I mean…
