Great listen

Very diverse, eclectic content. Very good overall wth one complaint ..... there is a certain level of baseline knowledge assumed and thus the learning value is limited for someone with only basic knowledge. I would appreciated his being a bit more accessible rather than having to google info for context as I go. I’m sure it’s perfect for smart music people.....

My Favorite Podcast

I am typically not a podcast listener, however, every time a new episode of Rolling Stone Music Now comes out… I listen! The interviews and discussions are wonderful and very informative. Great for any music lover, old or young. There is a great variety of past and present musicians/topics that makes it very engaging. As well as many different experts of the field to give their feedback, knowledge, and opinions. Love the podcast! Keep up the great work.
