gypsydjangoLove this!Look forward to each new show as I’ve been introduced to so many artists I now follow. Hosts are great interviewers as well. Keep on🎶
-
ParkerBattersoncorny hoststhe musical guests are great but sound stifled in conversation with the awkward/vanilla hosts, who have the least personality of anyone in podcasting. it’s occasionally funny to listen to their canned Q&A routine with artists but it’s mostly like listening to someone read you their music history homework at a party. just hard to listen to
-
Philly sophGreat content!Love this podcast and the view into music and musicians it offers. Awesome hosts, diverse guests, and always a great listen!
-
BvdabeastSecond Best only to Song ExploderFantastic music podcast with bite sized episodes and unique live performances. Was very pleasantly surprised to hear the Waxahatchee episode.
-
mountainlake2Awesome podcast - with a suggestionThe podcast guests that are interviewed as well as the content of the questions and the great music these guests share with the audience are top-notch. The only suggestion I have is that Raina back-off on identifying herself every few minutes of her interviews. Not sure if she’s not aware of how frequently she’s doing it or if it’s a conscious effort to insert herself in the framework that is supposed to be the artist’s but either way, it’s annoying. Otherwise, an awesome podcast! Thank you to Kallao and Raina for a great podcast of great music!

*Mike O*Quality programI love Talia but not crazy about the contributing host.
-
tomtombearclubWorld Cafe equals HeavenFans for years and dropped off afterDavid left the mic. However with a little sample here and there, I feel in love again. Happy to be back in love the interviews and the positive energy of the show.
-
jimismycatEvolved, and not really enjoying anymoreShort cuts of songs =👎 Unable to view whom is host each episode = 👎 (love David, not so much of a talia fan) Unsubscribing after a decade of listening....
-
lizmeister7Steve Perry InterviewThis was well done. Delicate questions for a delicate soul. I felt like he may be a closet opera singer, and I adore opera. (His temperament I’m referring to.) This interview was relaxing and special thanks to the host and the guest. Thank you.
-
ZbouisMy favorite music podcastThis is the only music podcast where I feel like I'm actually learning something about music as I go along and it exposes me to artists I never would have heard of otherwise. Highly recommended
-
BMWXPNSplurgeLove this podcast. I'm sure the reason why all the sessions recorded for the show can't be podcast is related to music rights issues, as is the fact that only partial songs are used. That being said, overall this podcast is great. World Cafe is a gem.
-
Philly Music GuyGreat Interviews and Live PerformancesNPR has lots of great music programming, but World Cafe is my favorite. I always learn something new about the artist being interviewed and the live performances are beautifully recorded.
-
GabeRosenbergNeed In My Music Pod RotationTalia Schlanger is doing a killer job as host, and the music interviews and performances are as engaging as ever. I really value this pod in my rotation of music podcasts.
-
Goranger22Nice musicLove when it's an all music podcast
-
Spaceman of OBGreat Show, Bad PodcastI've supported David Dye and WXPN in Philly for years. Went to shows there in the old and new studio, concerts, etc. and always enjoyed the programming. However, this podcast does not keep up with what's happening on World Cafe'. If you want to promote your podcast as one with new music, you gotta have just that, NEW MUSIC. My device space is limited folks. I'm off to try other similar podcasts that mostly have the same artists. And, they stay up to date! Comon' David! KEXP anyone?
-
Tom in MaineDont waste your timeThe shows you want are not here and if you find one you would like to listen to it isn't complete.
-
thecrazylibrarianI love this show!I listen to an episode as I am falling asleep. Keep 'em coming!
-
JFish 162Really....Really....Ok. I've been listening to this program for around 8 years and have found many of my favorite artists on here by being able to listen to full songs. You cant get the real taste in only 30 secs of a song. Typical copyright mess. Skip
-
Alejandrap83Great podcast, my favorite!Yes, the first few reviews are definitely outdated. Now they play three to four full length songs, as well as the interviewing. Really the best music podcast I've heard.
-
plurgidWhat are you guys talking about? this is GREAT!All these comments about the 30 second excerpts must be an old issue. I've been listening to these all day, and the feed has full songs and interviews now. Wow ... greatest non-news NPR show of all time. If only more affiliates would embrace music from this century ... it does'nt always have to be classical music and NPR news, donchaknow.
-
PostModGuruGreat Show after the 30 sec fix!As far as I can tell the full 20-25 min show is being podcast. I love world cafe and don't get it regularly where I live so this is a great fix! Thanks NPR
-
SalgariousWhat a Waste...The show is about the music, and even though the interviews are interesting, they should be the icing on the cake, not the bread and water.
-
Erin GlynnNot goodI agree with the other comments. You feel like you're listening to a 20 second sample of a random excerpt of every song, not enjoying a great live performance. I didn't know how great "uncut" was until it was taken away. :(
-
World Cafe ListenerPodcast all or let us chooseThere are several shows from World Cafe that we'd like to listen to. Andrew Bird was recently interviewed and his show is not available. How can we pick and choose?
-
El Kentrobutchered show & incorrect timeThe iTunes store says one time - the actual download is approximately half that time. Please put it all there, cancel this mess, or charge for the full show if that's what it will take. 30 seconds of a song is a waste of time.
-
mr. barksworthythumbs downI'm shocked at how poorly done this podcast is. Cutting the songs down to 30 second samples is just absurd ... I might as well just listen to iTunes samples from the albums. The interviews are moderately interesting, but not enough to make up for the frustration of cutting off the music.
-
JenLPlease put on everythingThis is awesome.. I just wish you would put on all the artists.. Eric Church is one that I am looking forward to having on this if possible... Great work!!!!
-
Huey PierceGreat radio show; terrible podcast.This show is utterly maddening. They have edited all of the life out of the show for the podcast. Instead of live performances of songs, you get a frustrating 30 second snippet, followed by a fadeout. I'm assuming it's for copyright reasons, but for whatever reason, it makes for terrible listening. Skip this podcast and try Morning Becomes Eclectic.
-
Drew PerrinPut Everything On HERE!I think it's great that NPR has put a World Cafe podcast up. I strongly request that they put put all their shows on here. For example Will Hoge, Thursday, April 13th. It was on the world cafe website, why not put all 23:44 of it on to the podcast site.
