    Keeps me up to date
    Love the daily music updates. Appeals to all ages and fun to listen to.

    Mainstream
    Grammys? Christmas Albums? Gwen Stefani? Not what I am expecting from The Current. Whenever a pod casts such a big net, it’s usually bland. Does not reflect The Current’s radio free twin cities spirit. At least not yet. Be best, guys. #cashgrab

    I've learned so much
    This podcast keeps me up to speed with a perfect balance of big music trends and some of the quicker-hit music headlines. What I didn't expect was laughing out loud at every episode. It's great.

    Short and Sweet
    I'm work at the Current, and we tend to talk too much! This podcast, in contrast, is short and efficient. Nice work folks.
