painful to listen to his voice

Jeez this guy's voice is just painful to listen to, as gravelly as a sandbar in the Snake River. I had to pop a lozenge to soothe my own throat because this guys voice/throat is SO BAD! A 100 cigarettes and a full bottle of whiskey a day for the last 10 years must have done this damage because a normal person doesn't end up with this croaky/raspy/gritty/gruff voice. Just terrible. All album data seem to be from the top of his head. No detailed info, no thorough research. But that voice, Man...I need another Ricola lozenge.

Can we get a reboot?

I tried so hard to get into this. It’s a great idea and I was really hoping to expand my appreciation of some of these albums that I’ve never really connected with before. But that would require some well researched background on the music in question, plus some insightful music analysis, and that’s not really what this podcast is about. This is about John Adam Meyers’ giant ego. I understand he’s a comedian, and I suppose there are some people who listen because they think he’s funny, in which case, this is the perfect podcast for them! But the rest of us came to learn about the music, not who the host did blow with one night 15 years ago.
Some episodes are more successful than others, depending on the knowledge and seriousness of the guest. But any valuable insight provided is despite, not because of, the host.
The ratio of off-topic, self-indulgent, ego-driven prattle to thoughtful discussion about the actual album is WAY too high for me.
Can someone who is more serious minded, focused and willing to do their homework please take a run at this concept? A lot of us would really benefit from a version of this done correctly.
