Customer Reviews
Top notch podcast
Coverville figured out how to make licensed music work in a podcast. Top notch music and each show tends to have some tidbits. Brian has favorite generes but keeps the selection very eclectic.
Covertastic!
Coverville was, is and, by all indications, will continue to be one of the most entertaining, interesting music podcasts available. Brian somehow finds cover songs in the widest variety of musical styles and genres and somehow makes them play well togehter. Whether it's single-artist cover stories, all-request shows, theme shows (acapella, anyone?) or just plain hodgepodge shows, Coverville is always fun, interesting and entertaining. Long live Coverville!
One of my only "listen every time" subscriptions
Coverville is one of only a few (KCRW's "Left, Right, and Center" and Lileks's "The Diner" are the others) podcasts that I listen to every time, usually as soon as they show up on my iPod. I've always been a sucker for a cover song, and Brian knows how to pick some real gems.
