Wednesday Webcast Review: Band In Boston

Every once in a while we find a podcast that is simply great. Thankfully, we found one only one week after a not-so-good 'cast was reviewed. This week we take a look at the Band In Boston podcast.

The Band In Boston podcast is a podcast, of course, about music. What this podcast does is provide the listener with suggestions of local music to check out in the upcoming week. In addition, they will often play selections of music from the artists which they are recommending that week. But wait, there's more. For only 27 easy installments of... Sorry, we completely got sidetracked. But, there is indeed more. They will also feature exclusive live performances from their living room. These live performances definitely provide the frosting on the oh-so-delicious cake.

Like we said, the show is all about Boston. It doesn't get any better than that. Well, actually it does, as the hosts, Andy and Jen, are fantastic as well. They are extremely knowledgeable of the local music scene and provide many amusing moments in addition to sharing all that musical wisdom. The show does slant towards the indie-rock scene, but having some focus is not a bad thing at all. We just hope more 'casts like this spring up for other musical genres. The Hip-Hip In Boston podcast would be great. Any takers?

If you haven't guessed it, we are completely enamored with this podcast. We wish all podcasts could provide us with this amount of joy. If you enjoy supporting local music acts and venues, then you need this podcast. Yes, we said need. And with that, we say, "Thank you Andy and Jen, Boston needed this podcast."
