Podcast Corner: Indiecast's return is refreshing — it's as good as it gets

Like a long-running TV series, it can be daunting to press play for the first time, knowing you’ve got dozens of episodes to catch up on. Podcasts that have run for years often stretch into the triple — if not quadruple — digits

Indiecast has been running for nearly six years, hosted by music critics Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen. 

As the former says when introducing every episode, they talk about the biggest indie news of the week, review albums, and hash out trends. It’s an easy, conversational format that rewards regular listening.
