Popular Reviews of Stroll Down Penny Lane

Impossible to rate this show. On one hand, it's professionally delivered. The background is impressive and insightful and the musical explanations are excellent (see: circle of fifths, episode 1). Ok, that's the good stuff. On the other hand, the constant use of sound effects is incredibly grating and unnecessary. The "ad libs" are reminiscent of a poorly constructed high school play. Talkback Mike (get it?) is as irritating as a personality as Ive heard. Seriously, he's there for what reason precisely? This podcast COULD be great and highly listenable if these guys stopped assuming their audience is under 5 years old. I could only take so much of the "patter" before I reluctantly had to move on. What a shame, Mary Jane.
