Reflecting again on how John Cale’s piano playing on Nick Drake’s “Northern Sky” is one of the single most moving things I’ve ever heard, and also how it's like the thirtieth most historical thing to occur over the course of his career in music. A remarkably passionate oracle. Truly no one like him.

Best use of an ongoing reference to a 1 second excerpt from a Mutt Lange-produced album
Fun (maybe?) exercise: Try to come up with a set of podcast awards that makes sense.
I don't think lumping together interview pods and explainer pods and news and history etc etc makes sense!
