What Is Music?: A Music Podcast About Arctic Monkeys

The unique concept, a deep dive into an artist, song-by-song, track-by-track, is great both if you already know the artist well or know nothing about that music. You get history and context and different viewpoints from three people who engage with music in different ways. Takes a few eps or more to understand the in-jokes and appreciate the banter style, but when it clicks it makes for a fun listen. They are people who you would like to have as friends, to meet at the pub or coffee shop to talk about what you’re listening to, what shows you’re going to see…their Patreon is more than worth it, and connects you with more music nerds via the Discord community,

Yeah. Yeah yeah yeah. Yeah says it all, really

Another REM podcast

A fun hang with likable hosts, but who are unapologetically stuck in their nostalgia for alternative rock bands that haven’t been relevant in decades. Great news for superfans who want to spend years exhausting over every REM album, but if you enjoy a more diverse spectrum of music, or feel that an endless parade of Manic Street Preachers isn’t worth hundreds of hours of scrutiny, then you may find yourself alienated by the otherwise admirably committed deep dive format.

I really don’t laugh at stuff in any form of media. No clue why. So I was shocked to listen to this podcast and find myself on the verge of tears from the beyond witty banter. You guys are hysterical. I love it. Please do these podcasts forever.
