Review of The Next Track Podcast
I listen to The Next Track Podcast, very frequently. They have an extremely informative and entertaining Podcast, with an interesting twist on Music and how it’s consumed. They have vast experiences to draw from, but with a slight bias towards Rock, and Pop music. I enjoy alternate takes on Music, but I disagree with their reports on the use of A/M-Fm radio, and it’s ubiquity. Most Vehicles still have AM-FM radios, and they are still the most listened-to form of Music today. Radio stations and Record labels pushed the customers away from CD’s to prevent duplication and to reform the market for how Artists are paid, and many of us disagree about the so-called inconvenience of CD’s and DVD’s. I believe that Tge Next Track has more direct, in-depth, full understanding, knowledge of the Music business and the distribution of Music, than any other Podcast, and I highly recommend following and listening to their Podcast.
Equal to my level of "audiophile" skepticism
I found this podcast after reading a Q&A from one of the hosts in an "audiophile" forum. After looking at the list of episodes, I was happy to see that they included interviews with classical music artists and journalists. The hosts evince a nice balance of "audiophile" skepticism with appreciation of quality sound reproduction. I'm working my way through back episodes and already enjoy their interviews with Andy Doe. Keep up the good work and I'm glad this podcast has maintained a consistent publication schedule, unlike other audiophile podcasts that peter out.
