Customer Reviews
Timeless
Even though this series ended a few years ago, it’s the only podcast I revisit over and over. And recommend to others. Thank you Joe.
A window into the wold
Joe Boyd has managing way to take us into many different worlds in bitesized bits. His curiosity shines lights on musical worlds I never heard of. It really is my favourite podcast of the moment! If he would run a radiostation I would have it on 24/7
Brilliant
Exhilarating, mesmerizing, poignant. That such a pivotal figure, responsible for so much music I love, would take the time to put together this series is just an incredible gift. Listen!
