I’ve never been able to get into podcasts for some reason. Living in Bermuda, where my commute (on a scooter) has never been more than 20 minutes, means I’ve never had time to listen on the way to/from work. While I love music, I have ADHD and am also not really an auditory learner so the idea of listening to a podcast sounds like work to me. Having said that, I’ll be retiring from work soon and even between all the hiking I plan to do, there will be more space and time in my life. When/where do you normally listen to podcasts Steve?
I went back and read the Semisonic piece and really enjoyed it, particularly that idea of how music, whether a lyric, a chord change, even a change in tempo, can rip your heart out. To the point of “like WTF? Why is this happening to me?” It’s something I’ve never quite been able to figure out.
The title of the podcast sounded familiar to me. I thought it was a book. Now that I look at the what they covered in the episodes I will definitely be checking it out! I'm sorry that it's done! I've got a list of probably 80 more songs that would explain the 90s from my own point of view. (I'll cover those when I get to that decade in my Top Ten Memoir!) Since I'm fairly new to Substack I only now read your piece on the series which makes me even more intrigued by it. Thanks for sharing all of this!
Always late to the party. And sometimes I don't show up because, well social anxiety, but I'm here now Steve. Isn't that what's important?
I just finished listening to the Lisa Loeb - "Stay" episode. A friend recommended this one a while back and now I want more more more.
Sad it's done but given I have so many to listen to from the archives, I think I'm good. Thx for posting this.
I love podcasts! I’ll check this one out.

I'll give the podcast a listen. Sounds like fun.
Huge fan of 60 Songs That Explain the 90s!! Sad that it’s ending!
Got hooked on Bandsplain after hearing Yasi Salek on 60 Songs.
