Switched on Pop and Song Exploder both deconstruct songs and interview the artists.  Interesting to see "behind the curtain" on music…
I will have to check those out.  The This is How We Do It podcast that I mention is a similar idea.  The first two episodes were Protomartyr (semi-serious look at their songwriting process) and Wolf Eyes (they basically told the interviewer to fuck off with boring questions and talked Trip Metal for a while).  I know it is Pitchfork, and some around here consider them evil, but they are a necessary evil (that is how someone I respect who runs two local labels, and is in a noise punk band, described them when I gave him shit for reposting their content).

These appear to basically be people telling stories, yes? Why am I supposed to care?

I'm not trying to be funny, I don't get it.


Love + Radio.  I don't care if you think you don't like stories.

I think at that point, you'll need to stop messing with the source, and focus on the listener.  I mean, I suppose you could try to work with some EM shielding or something to prevent signal leakage.  But really you're going to want to start thinking about noise cancelling headphones, acoustic shielding or inducing deafness as effective strategies.  LMK if you need any help with that.

If I ever have the misfortune of being in the area of an audio source playing Steve Czaban – the RatBastard of Sports radio – I will take you up on that.

Can't really say POTW material, but possibly a great name for a band
also what was the consensus on a good podcast app?
stitcher is ok
or all of you on iphones?
Surprised nobody here's mentioned Tom Scharpling/Jon Wurster AKA "The Best Show."
Why do you guys hate Czaban so much? Penis envy?

I think "the Ratbastard of sports radio" pretty much summed up my thoughts but you did a nice job unintentionally adding to it by immediately implying people who don't like him have small penises. You're playing stereotypical Czaban listener role to a tee.

Sorry I don't follow your guys' reacharounds here, but neither of you have actually explained why Czaban is worthy of your derision. Except for your penis envy.

Go ahead, knock me out.

Oh, you're doubling down on that viewpoint. Great. Don't you have a woman to assault somewhere "who has it coming"?

I have a drive coming up for Thanksgiving and would like something other than NPR to listen to. Last year, Miss P recommended Serial which I greatly enjoyed. Can someone recommend something similar? What podcasts do you guys like?


Soooo, whatcha got queued up?
