If music be the food of love, the Indieish podcast is a good candidate for starter, main course or dessert. So as you can probably now guess, this is a podcast all about music. Not only is it all about music, it itself is all music. Published usually about 5 times a week, this podcast is only as long as the single track that’s featured, which can vary from 2 minutes, to the recently featured 13 minute masterpiece from Simon Slator. Each week a different person selects the tracks to feature, which means you get a pretty diverse spectrum of music from many different genres.

The joy with this podcast is that it’s very easy to digest, being on the whole relatively short. I have to admit, there’s been a lot of music that, is most certainly not to my taste, but there’s also been a few absolute diamonds that have prompted me to investigate further and review on Indie Launchpad. At least if there’s something you don’t like, you just hit the stop button and that’s that. No need to worry about finding the end of the track by skipping and getting in a pickle. I’m pretty much on the fence with regard to having no host. Yes it’s nice to get straight into the music, but if you are away from your computer, you’ll have no way of knowing what the music was without going back to your computer and reading the podcast entry…. mmm maybe if I paid more attention I might have noticed if the ID3 tags had this information.

Conclusion : A real gem of a podcast and indeed I would love to see this idea expanded on, having separate podcasts for specific genres. Definitely check it out.
