Customer Reviews
unbelievably good!
thank you so much for the best podcast ever!
Sometimes
the show drifts into political and socio-economical debates, where the podcasters and guest draw vague conclusions and create new narratives on past events to fit their personal worldview.
It’s understandable that a podcast on pop music has less editorial oversight but it’s still harmful for a society that needs to learn how to grow together, opposed to adding fuel to the social dilemma.
This show could be so much more if it sticks to its expertise. But if the people involved sees their calling in creating change, to actually broaden their minds and opinions as they voice them.
