New Sounds from WNYC - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This is easily the best show in WNYC's line-up and is the source for half of the best loved pieces in my collection. From Sade to Gorecki to Steve Reich to gamelan and Gavin Bryars, I heard it here first. Thank you John Schaffer, thank you WNYC, thank you iTunes, but give me more, give me more! I want every night's show!

I have learned more about music, geography, cultures from all over the from listening to John Schaefer than I did in four years of college. His knowledge of music, muscians is freakily encyclopedic. He keeps me up way too late because his choice of themes, selections is just too damned interesting! MORE podcasts, pulleezze!

Music lovers take note. This is simply one of the best podcasts around. I'm not sure where else I would have the chance to hear a lot of the great music John shares. Highly recommended.

This show introduces me to complex, amazing, and beautiful music from around the world that I would never otherwise be exposed to. I love it. It makes my life more wonderful. Thank you, John Schaefer.
