I have to admit I fangirl moderately over questlove and the roots so I don’t even remember how I found out about this podcast besides maybe I heard about it on Ahmir’s podcast Questlove Supreme. Regardless, even if I came from a somewhat or very different background, I still came up during the era of the beginning of MTV and YO! MTV Raps, so I’m drawn to those nostalgic things that talk about my era too, as is mentioned during season 4, which is all a continuing conversation with Questlove about the beginnings of the Roots. Unpretentious and real talk, which is all I have time for anymore, or really ever did, even when it’s not what I wanted to hear, so I highly recommend it. -Steph in Idaho via all over

OME is not only exceedingly talented as a musician and writer, he is also an excellent interview show host. The Prince Paul shows are an excellent dive into an era of hip hop history. Can’t wait to hear the other seasons!
One of the best podcasts out there!

Open Mike Eagle is an amazing host and artist in general! Loved all three seasons so far. Can’t wait to get into Questlove’s stories. I learned so much and for that I thank you immensely!
This is the best podcast in the universe

If you think a season long interview covering, in some cases, the entire career of artists that changed your life sounds amazing… it is. This is the holy grail of media, period, if you’re a life long head and student of the trajectory of left-of-center/alternative hiphop through the years. The El-p season is literal morphine for my weathered soul. Protect Open Mike Eagle at all costs!
