I was sad when KEXP got rid of the weekly new music playlist, but was still glad that I at least got a new song each day in its entirety. Now even that is gone. I want to listen to music. Uninterrupted music. I don’t care how the DJ came to like the song or how it affects them. I don’t need to hear endless conversation about how the music touched them. I just want to hear the songs. This podcast used to be great because it was a nice break from my talking podcasts. You are KEXP, not NPR (nothing against NPR, though). Just play the music. That’s what your entire station is all about. I will happily resubscribe if you go back to simply playing music.

I’ll give it a week to bring back the old format or I’ll unsubscribe. They could make a new podcast for the DJs to talk instead of playing music.

I have been a huge fan of the song of the day for years - really loved listening to a new song every morning. I understand you want the DJs to provide more context around the songs they are picking, but I wish that in the new format you’d let them play the entire song, not just talk about the songs and play a small snippet. That way - those of us that just want to experience the new songs can still listen to them in full. With this new format, I’ll probably unsubscribe, as for me the joy was listening to music, not talking.

Some reviews have it summed up the exact way I feel. They made this about the DJs and not the music. Snippets instead of full tracks. One of the hosts sounds disingenuous and fake, almost like “influencer speak”. After years of being a daily listener I am unsubscribing.

I originally subscribed because I liked getting to hear new music, and just music. Now they’ve completely gotten rid of that, in favor of 99% people monologuing with the occasional 5 second clip. If you’ve listened to any other ‘music’ podcast, you know what I mean. Music-less, boring, I’m out.

Been listening to this podcast for years and really have appreciated being introduced to a lot of new music. But now, I’ll probably unsubscribe if this new format remains.

Not really digging the new format. I really hate just hearing snippets of the songs instead of a full song every day. That was kind of the point of listening to this. I can just listen to the many NPR podcasts that I already do for this kind of thing and they will play full songs.

I typically love all things KEXP (especially the music obviously)... While the idea for the change from song of the day to "In Our Headphones" seems like it could be interesting, my immediate reaction after hearing the first episode is I would really like to hear the full versions of the songs instead of short previews. As of episode 1, this podcast primarily features discussions about what the KEXP crew is listening to with short clips of each song that fade in and out. Let's hear those full songs please!

They went and made it about the DJs instead of the songs. Terrible narcissistic mistake. Getting those songs and learning about new artists and then going on and purchasing more of their music is gone. There are dozens of storytelling podcasts on itunes and I don't need to hear your DJs tell theirs..... I'll give this about a week and unsubscribe. Thanks for ruining a good thing for ego purposes.....

What happened? II can understand that radio- especially internet radio- is a difficult business model and can't afford to pay much, but this Janice person is the worst! Maybe, in a year or so,when she gets to highschool, she can learn to talk like an adult...

And now it’s full of unnecessary ad-like voices… I’ll wait for April 15th to see what all the changes are, and may unsubscribe after that… Such a shame…

Love these so much #1 podcast rn😆💙👌🏼 Fav one is “𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐌𝐲 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐭?“🫶🏼

… but still missing “ The Weekly Mix.” Bring it back. Please.

Song of the Day is one of my favourite podcast. It's mental medicine

I really enjoy waking up to a new song or band that I have never heard of before. Also have added a bunch of the new songs to my playlists! Thank you

Sometimes it’s the one song you needed to hear, and you never would have heard it anywhere else.

Enjoy!

I don’t like this podcast... it’s just weird.. and the bad type.. see for yourself

makes me so happy. what a great way to start my morning!

Had about 200 songs saved that just vanished one day upon opening app..like what the _ ???!!!!!!!

Look forward to seeing KEXP in my feed every day. Great way to expand your music collecting.

Thay are just... bad. See yourself

The only thing that could take out over the top is a Kazakh popera song once in a blue moon :)

Plz

If you like good, non mainstream, independent, “college” music, this is the best place to be. I listen to new music all week long and nothing comes close to KEXP in delivering the best of new fresh music. I have saved hundreds of songs over the years and this would be what I take with me to the proverbial desert island.

It’s you! I’ve been a listener since before tablets via iMac. I can’t imagine not being able to discover new music vi this podcast.Thank you for all the amazing years of music. Don’t ever change.

I’ve been listening for years and have always been impressed. I’ve discovered several of my now-favorite artists through this daily podcast. Thank you for what you do!

The gold standard all other music podcasts should strive for.

I love that there’s no hosts or commentators with their own opinions. You get to listen to all genres of new music and get to choose how you feel about it. Plain and simple.

Music nicely done

Every weekday, it’s a brand new song in your feed! By artists I love, or more often a band I’ve never heard of. Sometimes it won’t be your taste, but probably at least weekly, I’ll hear a song I love, sending me to Spotify to save the song and investigate the band’s catalog.

Gooo ahead

Thanks KEXP, I take the podcasts around the world on my regular travels and discover new music while exploring new sites on my runs. Great memories made with this music and proud to be a donor for more than 10 years. Look forward to my upcoming move to Everett to listen on the radio!

Almost without fail, everytime I download a song from KEXP's Song of the Day Podcast, I discover another artist that I like. Whoever chooses these songs is totally in sync with my tastes. It's like you sneak in at night and look over my collection and say "hey, I know of another musician I think he'll like". Thank you!

Love hearing new songs every day. Great selection.

The music is phenomenal and the mix is highly eclectic. For the last two or three months it's been almost impossible to download. This doesn't happen with similar podcasts so there must be a problem with KEXP's podcast distribution.

I can't get the podcast to work, either streaming or download.

If you want something unique and genuine every day SUBSCRIBE!!!! They’re AWESOME!!!!

Great way to discover new music. Do yourself a favor and subscribe to this podcast.

This podcast is a great resource for discovering great new music.

Oh my god I loved the song by: Gillgan moss " Choreograph" but I don't seem to have the podcast anymore and that was my favorite so I have been searchingfor it and I can't find it! Please write back! Senserly, mothman278

I love this podcast, please fix it.

From their website: "All Podcasts Currently Offline Apologies, but due to technical issues all of our podcasts are offline. This includes our site and podcast services like iTunes as well. Please be aware that we are working on the issue and will bring them back as soon as possible to keep the great music and experiences coming to you!"

Their website has been down since last week. These songs are no longer available.

It used to be that one out of every ten songs put up here was worth listening to, these days that ratio has gone down down down. Fire your music director, they're boring.

Hot Hot Hot! Watch out for this! Mash up de place!

so coooooool~

Great podcast, great music, and a lot of variety.
