Customer Reviews
Fantastic podcast!
As a music nerd, I love how deep and emotional the guests get with these albums! The hosts are extremely funny and engaging. I discovered this podcast a year ago and it’s definitely one of the things that got me through the pandemic. 5 Stars!!!
This Particular Podcast...
Is Very, Very Important to Me.
Untangling the magic of music
Why does music make us feel things? An unanswerable question, but one that this podcast does an excellent and entertaining job of exploring. “This Particular Album” tries to understand the magic of music by having comedians and creative types come on to talk at length about their favorite albums and why those particular collections of sound waves and words make them feel things. I was onboard with this concept from the start and charmed by hosts Deborah and Joel, who have an easygoing rapport and clearly love talking about this stuff. Some eps are pretty lighthearted, others have more of a therapy vibe (which I love!). Hard recommend!
