To “dissect” your favorite record is an act of love, but considering the word also means to “methodically cut something up in order to understand its internal parts,” you can’t deny the morbid connotations. Host Cole Cuchna performs his extensive research through a simple format of one album per season, one song per episode.

Ultimately, the shows on this list accomplish one of two things: they bring you closer to your favorite music or help you discover something new.

Podcasts are a natural platform for these passionate conversations, harmonizing song and debate in a medium that hasn’t been seen since, well, radio.

There aren’t many things we can confidently say are universal.
