"Let it Roll" is a podcast about the history of popular music from the 19th Century to the 21st.
The Let It Roll podcast is undoubtedly one of the finest podcasts out there when it comes to exploring modern American music. Hosted by Nate Wilcox, this podcast presents a well-thought-out and expertly executed format that makes it highly accessible and captivating for any music enthusiast. A standout feature of the show is its episodes with the legendary Musicologist Ed Ward, whose insightful discussions add an extra layer of depth and authenticity to the content. Wilcox's brilliant execution deserves applause as he creates a podcast that consistently hits the mark.
One of the best aspects of The Let It Roll podcast is its ability to expose listeners to areas of pop music that they may not have previously paid much attention to. With each episode, Wilcox explores different genres and eras, offering a diverse range of topics for discussion. This exposure allows listeners to broaden their musical horizons and discover new artists or styles that they might have overlooked before. It adds an element of surprise and discovery, keeping the content fresh and exciting.
However, there are some aspects of The Let It Roll podcast that could be improved upon. One potential downside is that not all book authors featured on the show are verbally articulate. While their written works may be exceptional, some guests struggle to convey their ideas smoothly in spoken form. This can make certain episodes feel less engaging or harder to follow at times. However, this minor drawback does not detract significantly from the overall quality of the podcast.
In conclusion, The Let It Roll podcast stands as one of the most comprehensive histories of rock music ever created in audio form. Each episode feels like a meticulously crafted dissertation on its respective topic, showcasing Wilcox's dedication and expertise in his field. Whether you are a seasoned rock aficionado or someone looking to expand their knowledge in this genre, this show is an absolute must-listen. Furthermore, it has even inspired many listeners to delve further into the music discussed on the show, enhancing the overall experience and fostering a deeper appreciation for modern American music. Bravo to Nate Wilcox for nailing it with this exceptional podcast.
