Diverse but Consistently Interesting

This is fascinating stuff, everything from Cornish pop music to how a singer and her music came crashing into 1950s American identity politics. The stories were all interesting, extremely diverse and if it did nothing else it taught me just how little I know about the world's music. One of my favourites, even though some of the journalism in it came across as a little condescending, covered how French government attempts to protect traditional French music actually led to a massive explosion of the country's hip hop scene. I'd recommend this to anyone interested in stories about world music, some of its big personalities and how music has helped shape our world.

some stories are interesting and insightful

while all the topics covered in this podcast are relevant, the treatment to a few is very interesting and insightful while others sounded more superficial. nevertheless, I am restraining from giving each chapterwise feedback coz it was s worth enduring all the chapters.

Confused.
