Customer Reviews
Ode to the music
These classical podcasts grasp a brief overview of the new scene emerging from a dwindling style or art. They vary largely in length, which leaves some weeks short. The artists speak passionately about their contributions to the art. The music interlude often cut short for my enjoyment. Overall lovely listening.
