As with any point in time, this is a special one in which to be alive, and the existence of Lou & Adele’s podcast is just the kind of thing that could only exist right now. Having this kind of insight into their lives and minds is something special indeed. Certainly never would’ve guessed this when I saw Dino for the first time in a bar in 1988 (89?). That show changed my musical life and it’s just very cool to me that I can now hear Lou working on the 4-track and the meal plan for the week too. It feels strangely, but wonderfully, complete. Many, many thanks.

If you are an old indie rocker there is plenty to get into here, from anecdotes to (raw!) interviews. But what this podcast is really about is the everydayness of love. Lou and Adelle are two people who really, really care for each other, letting us peek into the muddle of their everyday connection, their work on themselves, and sometimes even their great chili recipes. There’s a redemption arc here that’s hard to miss, but there’s also comfort, and regard, and ease.

Lou Barlow is a National Treasure! Adele is pretty great too!

I’ve been listening to Lou most of my adult life and now, Lou and Adelle are my companions in domesticity: cooking dinner, cleaning the house, hiking up a mountain; they come with me everywhere and joy. Thank you both for your vulnerability, humor, and weirdness. Each episode brings me such comfort, just like Lou’s music has all these years. Go subscribe to the substack!

I just started listening and boy am I glad I did. Also, I really appreciate the length of these episodes, it’s just right. The mortified memories episode was amazing! Also, I live in Dayton (where you were born) 😁and have seen Lou perform many times, most recently with GBV and it was fantastic! Thank you!!!

Thank you for doing this every podcast this is great. Thank you so much for the time and effort that you put into it. I know it’s a lot pride and the fact that so many people still love your music Dinosaur Jr. or Your stuff that you put out you are truly talented and I consider you a very good friend, even though I’ve never actually met you happy holidays to all. Hopefully you didn’t leave the happiest place on earth with a really sad pockets. Your friend Dustin

I’m a big fan, but totally missed the boat on this Podcast. Why? Because I don’t Podcast… BUT I will now! Thanks for the reason!

Lou and Adelle are a charming couple full of great stories of their personal lives as well as great music and song from Lou Barlow. They are honest and that really draws you in. Tune in weekly you will be greatly entertained!

Such a fantastic podcast. I love hearing the intimate acoustic performances from Lou, as well as the selections from the vault, the discussions on how songs come together and the natural flowing conversations between Lou and Adelle (with TWO L’s). Stay safe on the road and keep the podcasts coming!

I have been a fan of Lou Barlow for over two decades. Now I am also a fan of his partner Adelle Louise, as together they have made a wonderful podcast that is not only an always entertaining listen but also frequently moving. They make perfect foils for one another, and the also have great guests. The length of the podcast is also just right, leaving you waiting for next week’s episode. And the mini music mondays are fantastic!

Super enjoyable show. Lou plays his own songs, covers and reimagined commercial jingles. Adele and Lou talk ordinary life with a melted, yet nice zoo morning radio flair. This is a Friday ritual podcast listen for me. Enjoy!

Please put out an album of toy songs!!!!

Been a fan of Lou’s music for decades and am well familiar with the LoFi quirkiness. his collaborations with Adells are always endearing. Was not expecting to laugh so hard though. Literal spit take when got to the Yeti ad and agin for the Honda dealer. Not to oversell it, but this is also a very funny podcast.

I know Lou through Dinosaur Jr. I expected the loud and quirky moments, I didn’t expect how inspirational, sweet and reflective this podcast is. Thank you Lou and Adelle .

Feels like i'm part of the Barlow family! Mom and Dad are hip

This is great! Sort of an extension of the YouTube videos and antics from the lockdown. Sound is fine on this end! Love the guests. 🎸🎤🎧🎼

So far very interesting although I have trouble hearing it at times.

Creativity, Humanity, Humor. Two people opening up about the process… will come back for more.

not just for longtime fans, knitwear enthusiasts, and those in the hill towns.

Lou and fam brought up the mood around our house during the pandemic with special instagram shows and cute videos. The first episode was some warm comfort food. Looking forward to what’s to come. Thanks, our north-east amigos! Also Lou taught me the cool way to open a vinyl at a small show, rad dude! -Aaron from RVA

Love how this podcast moves with me
