Came for Radiohead. Might stay for others…

This podcast is such an immense joy. I love how insanely in depth it is, and explained in a way that even us non-music theory people can understand. I always just kind of felt Radiohead’s brilliance in their music without understanding really why, but Cole gave me concrete evidence to it. What a gift! Inspired to listen to other seasons now!
