This is a teriffic show that explores some very specific events that have shaped the music and entertainment industry as we know it in the USA. The host has a voice that is pleasant to listen to and the shows are well written. It is clear that some real effort was required to research each story presented. What really makes it a great show is how well it is written. The historical facts are woven into an entertaining narrative that reveals fascinating factual details while telling interesting stories about the people involved. Well done!

I took the time to download iTunes only to be able to subscribe rate and review this excellent show because it is supposed to help podcasters to have ratings and reviews.

Very inetresting. Could update more frequently, but thanks of course for what you've given us so far.

For anyone who is interested in music, whether you are an aficionado or layman, this podcast is for you. I'm always looking forward to the newest episode. It's extremely well done, with interviews dispersed throughout each episode. I really enjoy how other historical subjects are added into the podcast. I always feel like I've walked away learning something new!

Lots of interesting stories from the history of popular music, and how it reflects and interacts with society, politics, and the culture at large. The recent two-part series on Disco was really great. I feel like this review makes it sound really dry, but it isn't -- it's really fun to listen to!

This is a fascinating history lesson for music lovers and non music lovers alike and we're only on the sixth episode

Great, informative podcast. Love the interesting topics and their straight forward format.

This podcast is fascinating, entertaining, and well-done. For musicians like me it's consistently interesting. Check it out!

Firstly, best header on twitter I've ever seen. Finally a documented history of music, it's leaders and origins. I think I'm gonna be hooked:)

Matthew Billy always delivers a richly detailed and rollicking ride into the history of music, often teasing out really interesting cultural and social points along the way. Superb production, great content, and always worth a listen.

1. This is one of my most anticipated listens every month. 2. I could listen to the theme music on a loop.

Matthew Billy digs up great stories from music history and tells them in a gripping, relatable way. I could listen to this podcast all day. If you like music, check it out.

I was so excited to find this podcast. It's informative and narrative and well put together. The topics are always fascinating and I learn a lot while being entertained. A must hear!

If you are at all interested in music you will love this podcast!! So glad I found it!!!

In times like the present, with Donald trump as front runner and the country going down a dark path, the only thing that I know to be true in this world is that this is an awesome podcast!

This show illuminates some under-publicized, but most interesting aspects of music history. It’s well-researched and well-presented…great stuff!!

Surprising histories, engaging stories, and a wealth of information about music and its timeless connection to people.

It's very very well done. Engaging and interesting.

For any music buff or anyone who just loves history, this is a great podcast. I get giddy when I see a new episode in my pod-catcher.

Matthew is awesome — has a great show, great sound, and unique voice. More people need to be plugged into BTLN! Great work my friend!

Gorgeous production, thorough research and a delightfully unexpected topic every month. Wonderful listen!

I love this podcast. Well researched, humble and compelling. Every episode is a masterpiece that leaves the listener feeling uplifted and more intelligent.

One of the best researched and solidly produced long form independent podcasts around. Talks music and is amazing. Well done.

This show truly accomplishes its task of going behind the scenes into how music is made and why it sounds the way it does. Through great narrative storytelling, with a documentarians ear, BTLN will educate and inspire you to listen more deeply to the music you love and to new and old discoveries.

Great show! I wish it were released more often.

This show pulls you in. Well produced and well written.

Informative, interesting, and all made. Good job!

I'm so happy I found this show. Awesome information, great sound quality, etc. Subscribe!

I love the idea of a music-centric investigative podcast. Informative and interesting.

Just listened to the episode about the history of MTV. Blown away. Incredible sound quality, amazing info, and you can tell a lot more work goes into this show than most podcasts. Recommended!

A great podcast, very clean audio, and totally fascinating tidbits of history. Worth your time and subscription.

I love documentary style podcasts, and I love the way the content is presented!

I love music, but I had never considered some of these topics in depth - listening to BTLN has taught me a lot about things I had known, but never thought about!

It is kind of like 99% Invisable but only for music. This is crazy awesome and you should give it a look.

This is just an amazing example of what documentary podcasting should be. The editing is excellent and the research is in depth. It's fun and informative, and really could be right there on NPR. Well worth your time.

BTLN is an absolute delight -- tons of original research and insight, presented intelligently and engagingly. I consider myself someone who knows music history pretty well, and every episode has been chock-full of fascinating info that's totally new to me. A great podcast that deserves a wide audience. Kudos!

This is a podcast on the unnoticed bits and pieces of music. Given in a documentary/interview form, it does an excellent job of introducing and then discussing in depth some of the subjects that might otherwise go noticed by the wider audience. Highly recommended!

I find these incredibly entertaining and informative. Matthew Billy is doing a great thing here.

Between the Liner Notes is so beautifully crafted and I learn new things every time, every episode. Thank you for making this podcast, pleasure to my ears.

This is a perfect podcast. Informative, entertaining, and thorough while still being accessible and nimble.

The info in this show really hits the sweet spot.

I think I stumbled onto this podcast via a Twitter mention, and I was pleasantly rewarded. Its theme is loosely related to anything music—I say loosely related, because it speaks to a broad audience (you don't have to be a music nut to appreciate it). BTLN's production is very professional. I'd put their production quality right up with This American Life, RadioLab, or Reply All. And it's just good journalism—their research is top notch. My only wish? I want more frequent episodes. As of this review, BTLN releases a new show only monthly. Let's support them so their budget will grow to create weekly shows. We need this show!

The old interview format was great but the new story format is just as stellar! And great subject matter. I learn something each episode! You should subscribe now!

It took me a few episodes to get this on the list, but after hearing the level of detail and deft storytelling around Sharkey & ASCAP I'm hooked. Great show!

I don't normally write reviews because of itunes but this show is truly great and I can't believe there are only 19 reviews... Keep up the great work.

I am not a musician but I love history. This is some of the most interesting stuff I have heard in a while. I can't wait for new episodes to be released!

Quite simply: an amazing, well-crafted radio program that delves into the depths of music. It never dumbs down, but it never comes across as pretentious. Thank you!

This is the epitome of what a great podcast should be: well produced and with great storytelling. As a fan of music as well this is right up my alley.

Great on the ears, audio for the brain and told really well. It is a first rate listen, produced with great care by those with a passion for sound. Brilliant stories too - this is a joy

I've been playing and studying music for 25 years, and I'm always amazed at how much more there is to learn. Between the Liner Notes gets into the fascinating stories behind well know and obscure parts of music history. I'll be recommending this show to every musician and music fan that I know.
