Tape Notes - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This podcast is a true gem. I love how it focuses so much on the creative process behind so many great albums and songs. Unlike other music podcasts, there’s no sense of ego or self importance from the interviewer. He just lets the artists speak and engages them with thoughtful questions. I also love the long form discussions, which sets it apart from Song Exploder. We get to go so much more in depth compared to other podcasts. Keep up the great work!

Really interesting and awesome podcast for anyone interested in the production and songwriting process behind some amazing records. Love hearing the early demos and isolated original stems. And diving into multiple songs on the record really gets you into the headspace of the artist at the time of the recordings. The Little Dragon and The 1975 episodes were fantastic. Keep it up!!!

Absolutely love this podcast. It gets deep into the intricacies of what goes into a song while not losing an audience (me) with very little understanding of audio production. You start to listen to music differently. Can’t wait for more.

I am working my way through every episode and I cannot get enough of it. I’ve learned so much about the song making process and marvel out how these artists are not only willing to spill their secrets but are eager to do so. You can tell that they love nothing more than to talk about what gets them excited about the process as John masterfully guides them along. I guarantee that your favorite song was not made how you think and you’ll be hanging on every ear-opening word!
