Emil Amos' Drifter's Sympathy - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This is my favorite podcast out there. It’s so well crafted. Emil’s sentence structures are so precise you think they must have been written and rewritten, edited and polished, but he manages to sound like he’s just talking to you personally. The content of his stories, along with distilled epiphanies, are the gold of his alchemy of lived experience. One gets to peer into the private, uncanny vistas of a psychedelic artist/intellectual. There’s just nothing like it elsewhere.

Truly one of the only podcasts that I go back and listen to episodes again, just because I enjoyed the content so much.
I was in High School and University in the early 90’s and Emil’s reflections on those times are relatable and compelling. Bittersweet pre-internet memories of the dig for knowledge of new sounds.

non "inspirational" comforting but candid companion for anyone digging their way out, you don't need to know music to feel this. listened while in recovery from a near-death accident that interrupted an internal crisis. this was home in the hospital and the weeks after. still my favorite

Perfect arc. Told brilliantly. Most of us know these characters. Emil guides us in such a patient way towards a finish in which we are greater, grown, good people. Speaking about music as an all around holistic means and the craft of music as a form of therapy. I have been entranced for all of these seasons. Not only entertaining but also therapeutic to someone that grew up with music and psychedelics as the only available means of escape from our American paradox. Thank you.
