Meet Kiel and Nadia
Kiel has been writing about music longer than he’d like to admit, with bylines at PopMatters and a decade-plus running It’s All Dead. He believes every album deserves a fair hearing and that the best conversations about music happen after midnight.
Nadia came for the music and stayed for the arguments. A lifelong listener with strong opinions and an even stronger playlist, she is currently on a quest to prove that 1,001 albums isn’t that many to listen to (it is).

Love this music podcast that feels more about how we connect with artists and songs and why that matters rather than a pretentious criticism of albums and releases.
