Scientifically designed in a lab for me

The concept for this podcast is SO GOOD, I can’t believe it’s never been done before. If you love the movie High Fidelity for the combo of great music and a wistful tour of relationships past, you’ll love this podcast. The hosts are super likeable and, since they’re music journalists, always seem to pull out a fascinating fact about the song or the band, and the guests they book are some serious names. I love this podcast, I’m so glad I found it.
