In a media landscape dominated by Viacoms, Clear Channels and Disneys (the big box strip malls of ‘content’), podcasting has allowed us to easily (re-) connect with quality programming boutiques. One of these gems is the music review show Sound Opinions originating from Chicago Public Radio.
Combining the energy of college radio and the savvy of seasoned music journalism, hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot are passionate and knowledgeable and a pleasure to listen to.
I love that I can listen to Sound Opinions on my walk to work, where I don’t have the time to devour music monthlies anymore. It’s rekindled for me an interest in indie rock. Just recently the podcast introduced me to the group Midlake and had me give The Decemberists a second try (much to my surprise, I was blown away by their latest album, The Crane Wife).
Recent Sound Opinions shows have featured the art of the Mixtape, and of course a Year in Review show.
