The Freight Train Boogie Podcasts is an incredible find for any music lover, especially those interested in Americana and indie artists. With over 400 episodes to catch up on, there is no shortage of content to enjoy and explore. The host, Bill Frater, does a fantastic job curating each episode to perfection, introducing listeners to artists they may not have discovered on their own. This podcast has the ability to widen listeners' horizons and expose them to new music in a way that is both enjoyable and educational.
One of the best aspects of The Freight Train Boogie Podcasts is Bill Frater's impeccable taste in music. He is clearly an Americana nut and his enthusiasm shines through in every episode.

Additionally, he often offers insights into the artists or bands being featured, giving listeners a deeper appreciation for the music they are hearing.
A potential downside of this podcast is that it may not appeal to everyone's musical tastes. While Frater does a great job selecting songs that generally fall within the Americana genre, there may be occasional songs or artists that some listeners do not connect with. However, this could also be seen as a positive aspect, as it exposes listeners to different styles and allows them to explore outside of their comfort zones.
