Bandsplain

I love this show. It has single handedly gotten me into sooo many bands. Context is very important to me when getting into a band/genre, and Yasi is a fantastic storyteller (not to mention, hilarious). The grunge season is particularly great. Fair warning, you may feel the urge to use “babe” in daily conversation after listening.

Ok Yasi has a definite style and approach. I've listened to quite a few episodes now. But what is up with the comically short music/songs being played? I'm seeing other reveiwers say "Yasi plays full songs..." but I am not hearing these. I'm getting like 4 seconds of songs than abrupt stop!! ALSO...Yesi please stop with the EXTREME swallowing noises!! We are lsitening to this with EarPods, you sound like a rhinoceros swallowing a hippopotamus, turn your head away from the mike!! (REALLY prominent on The Clash episodes).

I listened to the Paramore episode because Hayley recommended and it was totally worth the listen. It was an incredible dive into the evolution of the band, its members & their social dynamics, their albums, what was going on culturally around those albums, it includes music clips to really bring you there, it gave me everything I wanted and more. I nearly listened to the whole ~3hr episode in one sitting but had to take a break just to drive around and listen to Paramore’s After Laughter album only to immediately return to the episode after this drive to finish listening. Really liked the hosts and production. I’ll definitely be back for more of this podcast. Love, The Miss Guided Astrology pod

Seriously…my husband and I live on different sides of the internet (and we listen to very different podcasts), but Bandsplain is always one we listen to together and discuss at length. I am super stoked to hear a woman talk about music after spending my whole life listening to dudes talk over me about music. You’re the best, Yasi!!
