This new season of the Pitchfork Review is much more enjoyable than the first; it’s awesome to hear editors and writers speak in the classic knowledgeable and trusted voice, but having more fun while doing it!
great podcast with clever and witty takes on current trends in Indie and other genres. there are looks back at classics and reference music but it’s a sorely missed need in the podcast space
Taylor Swift episode was what I was hoping for from this podcast. Album reviews, music commentary and critique. Hope to see more like this!
There are a lot of bad reviews here but this podcast is much better than those people say. It seems that any sort of discussion about entertainment by people who are knowledgeable and articulate will be deemed “pretentious” by somebody. There’s nothing wrong with an intellectual look at the music that’s coming out today. If you don’t like to hear intelligent people talk about music, go somewhere else.
I had had high hopes for the relaunch but was sadly disappointed. In the first 5 mins of the Taylor Swift episode, there was a factual error (she hasn’t re-recorded “all” her old music, as not all of it was subject to the Scooter Braun mess) and an ad for virulent anti-LGBTQ politician Greg Abbott. The host is not charismatic and the guests say “like” relentlessly. If you want a good music pod, check out the NYTimes popcast! Good luck to this one, maybe they’ll get a fact checker and a new ad salesperson and improve the show.
I was surprised at the subpar production quality and lack of interesting conversation on this podcast - pitchfork has set the bar so high from a writing perspective. It sounds less like informed music journalism and social critique, and more like some not-very-hot Twitter takes. All of that being said, the host does a nice job. I’ll certainly give it another shot.
