Makes songs you’ve never heard feel like lifelong favorites

Kirk is such a master of breaking down that makes a song great. Episodes of this show have made me adore songs that I’ve never heard of in genres I’ve never liked.

By breaking down the masterful work that the artists put into each song, you really start to appreciate the craft in a way that simply listening to music won’t give you.

5/5

Nerdy in the best way

As a music nerd, it’s nice to listen to a podcast that really dives deep on some great songs. I’ve loved to support this show since the beginning. 🖤

Come for the song; stay for the host

Come for the song; stay for Kirk Hamilton’s contagious enthusiasm, eloquent narrative, educational deconstruction, and masterful reconstruction!
