"He(Hickey) is, in other words, a fan—but not the gushy kind. He’s the sterner kind, a judicious completist who tries to read and pigeonhole everything about a phenomenon. And, as it happens, he has the kind of mind—rare, I think, for a fan—that can make all kinds of connections across time and place. Somehow, over time, the right mix of music theory and social history and biography and good humor coheres into something that, even if stopped tomorrow, would endure as a landmark in the story of popular music but also of podcasting. Andrew Hickey is doing something truly extraordinary."
