What a joyful podcast!

I use another podcast app, and I downloaded Apple Podcasts just to leave a review for this show. That’s how much I love it!

Kirk brings so much joy and enthusiasm to his music analysis, it is absolutely infectious. He makes me hear some of my favorite songs in a new and exciting way. And while I originally planned to listen only to the episodes on songs I already like, I now plan to listen to all of them, because I trust that Kirk will help me to enjoy them.

Interesting podcast but makes you wish for ads

First episode I listened to (Chicago recast) took 9 minutes before the actual content started. Had at least two plugs for Patreon before I heard a note. Will keep listening/skipping and reserve the right to adjust my rating (up) since Kirk is def doing a good thing.
