    The best music podcast!
    Hands down the best music podcast for anyone interested in the history of popular music. If I could give it 10 stars I would. It gets all the stars. Thank you Nate for making this.

    Astonishing devotion to music
    The people who do this podcast must do nothing all day but prepare for these interviews. It is absolutely routine to hear a guest who has written a book on a subject express surprise and even apology when the main host knows their book better than they do! I am hooked on this show.
  • Vermont Streetdog
    Love the show!!
    Glad you have had John Einersen on your show! How about having him on covering Canadian musicians and thei influence on folk and rock. Keep up the great shows!
  • podcrust

  • Admiral Rd
    Nate Wilcox is an excellent podcaster and knows Rock music well.
    I like the exposure to areas of pop music that I haven’t paid much attention. Don’t expect all of the book authors to be verbally articulate.
  • The Wrecking Yard
    Good stuff.
    A good listen.
  • E-from
    The Bible of Rock
    This is the most comprehensive history of Rock music ever. It’s a dissertation every episode. Don’t miss this show.
