The best podcasts about Music for GenXers

First came '60 Songs That Explain the '90s.' (We did that.) Then came '60 Songs That Explain the '90s: The 2000s.' (We're doing that now—and yes, that's the actual name.) But whether you want to jump back to the Clinton years or join us as we reboot our old iPods, you can find all of the collected works of Rob Harvilla below. Come back each Wednesday for a new episode.

A music podcast that channels the joy of crafting the ultimate mixtape, one week at a time! My Weekly Mixtape invites fellow music fans, along with the artists themselves, to collaborate with show host Brian Colburn, in an attempt to curate the ultimate playlist based on that week’s artist, band or topic. Spoiler alert: it’s not as easy as it sounds! The show also features: in-depth album dives into our favorite, as well as upcoming releases; interviews with the artists / bands responsible for the songs themselves; cover song dives that spotlight multiple renditions of a chosen song; and so much more!

Get ready to rock with Rock-n-Roll Autopsy! Join Scott and Rico as they dissect classic rock songs, exposing their excesses and untold stories. This hilarious podcast is packed with Gen X sarcasm, insightful commentary, and dad jokes. Tune in, laugh along, and discover if those classic rock anthems still hold up or if they're guilty of musical malpractice.

One topic. Three playlists. YOU decide who’s best! Playlist Wars offers a fresh take on music commentary, pitting one mainstream music fan (co-host Alex Gomez) against one full-blown music fanatic (co-host Brian Colburn) along with one special guest. Every episode is focused on an artist, band or theme, with each person creating an individual 10-song playlist that they feel best represents the topic. Listeners then vote to decide which panel member “got it right.” Let the battle begin! 👊🏼

Hosted by Todd (in the Shadows) Nathanson and Alina Morgan, Song vs. Song pits two similar songs of an era against each other with controversial outcomes.
