Britney Fan’s Dream!

When I discovered this podcast it was the episode where they interviewed the guy that remixed Britney’s “Thinkin About You” in 1999. It’s been so long since I thought about that particular remix, that’s when I knew this was legit & everything you could want in a Britney podcast. Check it out!

Great In-Depth Musical Analysis Podcast!

This podcast is great for Pop music and general music fans alike! The host does a great job researching topics and is very knowledge about the music industry. I love the deep dives into the various aspects of the music industry such as radio, remixes, live performances, etc. The podcast is also very philanthropical and gives back to the arts programs via their website. Overall, a great listen if you love Britney Spears, or just music in general.

Good stuff

We have it playing at the homeless shelter for people to listen to while they eat. Thanxfor the entertainment we like learning about music stuff.

So excited!

Don’t judge a podcast by its title

I’m a sucker for music documentaries and “Behind the Music”. This podcast is an entertaining and easy way to learn history and music trivia. What’s super interesting about it is how it’s NOT all about Britney. I love the concept behind the show - it uses information about Britney to weave seemingly unrelated stories together. Perfect!
