The Quiet Village Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I love this podcast, I listen to it while driving and whenever I'm stressed out to escape. I've learned a lot about different artists since listening to this podcast and really enjoy the wonderful music selection. Anyone who would like to become more knowledgeable or just wants to hear great music I recommend listening to this podcast.

A huge chunk of my exotica knowledge comes from listening to this podcast. Mark is steeped deeply in exotica, but also ventures to related genres, such as calypso, spy, soundtracks and easy listening. Not everything he plays is a winner, but it's always fascinating.

I discovered this podcast this year, and it’s opened my ears to so much in the world of exotica, lounge, and Hawaiiana that I didn’t know about. Some of DigiTiki’s interests don’t coincide with mine - his occasional forays into big band stuff aren’t really my cuppa - but he presents all the music in context and I end up listening just the same. If your experience is anything like mine, I’d recommend riding your bike at dusk around the suburbs, vibing with this awesome show. The spirits of Les Baxter, Yma Sumac, and Martin Denny are smiling down on The Quiet Village.

Thank you for producing this podcast. I love the information you provide about the music and the interview with Les Baxter’s daughter was incredible. But it’s the music that helps me relax and escape to my “private island,” which only exists in my head. Love everything tiki.
