Show Notes
Transcript:
Hey Pod lovers. If you’re joining us for the first time: Welcome! The Mastercast is a podcast recommendation show that brings you a brand new non-spoiler binge-worthy review every week of the best podcasts in a short and sweet 2-3 minute summary on everything you could want to know, from the number of hosts to on average how long you can expect each episode to be. New episodes come out every Monday. You can find the week’s other reviews on the show’s social on Instagram @themastercast and Twitter @mastercastpods I’m your special guest host David and this week’s I’m bringing you a review on Late Era.
I’m a sucker for good music podcasts, and I have a great one to show you today. Late Era, brought to you by Osiris Media, is a podcast that looks at late-career albums from legendary artists. Hosts Andy Cush, Sam Sodomsky, and Winston Cook-Wilson are all staff writers at the online music publication Pitchfork, and all have deep knowledge and great chemistry when talking about these albums. Sodomsky in particular has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of these artists and their work. While they can get personal sometimes, most of their dialogue revolves around the music itself, which I find enjoyable. The albums they cover can range anywhere from hidden gems deep in an artist’s discography or an absolute flop, both of which are fun to explore. Some episodes feature guests as well, ranging from comedians like Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington to musicians like Open Mike Eagle. Some great episodes to start out with are Jay-Z's Magna Carta Holy Grail, Aerosmith’s Honkin’ on Bobo, and Bob Dylan’s Under the Red Sky. Each episode ranges from 50 minutes long to an hour and a half, and it does not need to be listened to in order. For anyone interested in music history, I could not recommend this podcast more. Content warning for some strong language and occasional drug references. Currently, the show seems to be on hiatus with the last episode coming out in July 2021, but there is a chance they could come back at some point. Similar podcasts include the 33 1/3rd podcast, 155, and the Album Year.
