Paul just basically confirmed what I already knew.
Fantastic episode.

The popularity of podcasting has grown exponentially and has reached a 2nd (or 3rd) growth in the last 5 years. You'd be hard pressed to not find multiple podcasts on any subject. In no way do I think Open Mike Eagle is reinventing the wheel with "What Had Happened Was", but to me this podcast feels like an album.

Yes, I'm aware of all the crime and documentary podcasts out there. Yes, those are a collection of episodes that tell a story. This is different. This was a curated music discussion, and the first season was built like an album. Outside of maybe The Music Snobs, I can't think of a music discussion podcast that has had a consistent theme and focus like this. I think what Open Mike Eagle has created here is an amazing debut album.
