I haven't read this yet but I'm excited to see John Darnielle on here and have to plug the podcast I Only Listen to the Mountain Goats with Joseph Fink and John Darnielle. Each episode they dissect a song from his catalog and have a discussion with someone else as well as a cover of the focus song. The concept is good, but for me the best part of the show is all of the other conversations and general discussion of music/writing/art. That podcast gave me a deeper appreciation for a lot of things I either was clueless or even skeptical about. I think it's made me a better listener of both music and other peoples life perspectives.
