Perhaps not quite what the OP is looking for, but I use podcasts mostly for music consumption. My favorite (for quite a while now) is The Anjunadeep Edition [1], which delivers a 1 hour continuously-mixed "deep" (often programming-friendly) electronic music every week. I'd be curious to hear what other music podcasts HN recommends. [1] Here's a recent episode I enjoyed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Chn4SZWnJbc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Chn4SZWnJbc

Same same! Would love to read more music podcast recommendations. My personal pick is The Concert by the Gardner Museum. Each episode is a live performance of classical chamber music. Sadly shut down last year but there are 12 years of archives online and all episodes are still available in the feed.

  Signed up after years of lurking just to ask for more classical music podcast recommendations. Thanks to your recommendation, I have listened to "The Concert" for the last couple of hours while working and it's absolutely incredible. Amazing quality, brief introductions packed with interesting bits of info and a great selection. I have classical playlists in youtube but their quality is nowhere near this podcast's and I didn't learn anything about the genre while listening to them since it's just popular tracks passing one after the other in the background without an introduction.

I prefer to listen to music podcasts as well. My absolute favourite is KEXP's Music That Matters[1] of the KEXP Live In-Studio performance fame[2]. They have an amazing artist selection. I love the soothing voices of Cheryl Waters, Kevin Cole and John Richards, the short background informations they provide about the bands and their upcoming releases and tour dates, and the music usually spans across multiple genres which broadens your listening horizont and appreciation of other styles which you might not usually listen to. But most of it all, I truly enjoy discovering new music from them which almost always is spectacular.

Sidenote: I also like that they prominently (actually, "equally" should be the more fitting word in a better world) feature female musicians/bands (which you sadly cannot say from most other music podcasts / radio shows... most of it features male voices/artists), even without ever mentioning "Ladies" or all-female or otherwise including the gender in their short artist announcements (as it should be).

I only really listen to one as I have other ways I tend to listen to music, but Hospital Records - https://www.hospitalrecords.com/podcast/ https://www.hospitalrecords.com/podcast/ - is the one. It's entirely focused on drum'n'bass though.

Yes! Out of the more recent episodes 201-David Hohme & 206-Modd were top quality. If you enjoy Anjunadeep then I think you will also like 'When We Dip' , Canopy Sounds and Magician on Duty podcasts. They really go well with the anjunadeep style although I would say is more laid back then Anjunadeep (which has an at times housier/trancier vibe).

Resident Advisor! It’s mostly (European) techno and experimental, but they have a bit of everything in the electronic realm. https://www.residentadvisor.net/podcast.aspx https://www.residentadvisor.net/podcast.aspx
